What the best protection against gamma rays?

Why is Nuclear Medicine safe?
It is safe if used carefully and everyone involved knows just what they are doing. Perhaps you should divide into uses for tracing and for treatment. Trace use involves very small doses of a particular isotope that can then be traced through the body. Treatment would involve higher doses of radiation, for example to destroy tumours. The doctors and technicians involved need to calculate carefully how much radiation is necessary but not give too much.
What are the human risks to gamma rays?
Because they are a form of ionizing radiation, gamma rays can cause serious damage when absorbed by living tissue e.g. cause mutation of DNA which leads to cancerous cells, and are therefore a health hazard.

Can gamma rays hurt you?
