Which are methods of reducing exposure to ionizing radiation? Choose three correct answers.

Reducing exposure means limiting the time exposed, the area exposed, and shielding the body. A short burst of X-rays reduces the time of exposure, while imaging the smallest possible area avoids exposing unnecessary parts of the body. A lead apron provides shielding; taking large-area images or handling radioactive material directly would increase exposure.
