ABSTRACT
The paper deals with the radiation risk in perspective with the other risks we encounter in our everyday lives. It emphasizes the health impact associated with bioengineering imaging techniques based on the use radiation generators or radiopharmaceuticals. Some aspects, important for the realistic perception of the actual and realistic magnitude of radiation hazards, which are usually largely exaggerated by the public, are discussed. In addition, some facts based on a comparison of different risks in order to neutralize possible psychological impact caused by radiophobia are also outlined.
