Introduction

We are health care professionals long involved in radiological examination and treatment mainly in the Kyoto area.
Our members consist of medical practitioners, radiological technologists, specialists in medical radiation protection, and researchers in the field of radiobiology. We routinely use radiation in order to contribute to the health of our patients. Starting in 2012, we formed a team, and worked together with the objective of conveying basic information about radiation. From the results of this, we have created a variety of e-Learning materials, as well as booklets and educational manga (Japanese cartoons). We hope that you will use them at home, at school, and at work, and that they will serve as materials for understanding and making judgments about the topic in your own words.
