The best way to limit the radiation dose on the way to Mars is simply to limit the transit time, and that means improving on the conventional engines all spacecraft have carried up until...
...spacecraft--already exist and are capable of accelerating ships to very high speeds. But the stream of ions the engines produce is a thin one, and even a small ship requires a long time to accelerate--a problem when time is the very thing you're trying to limit. Another possibility is nuclear thermal propulsion, which uses a larger reactor to superheat traditional propellant and blast it out the engine nozzle.
