Patient radiation exposure monitoring in medical imaging is a key component in optimizing the radiation protection of patients. The workshop will address the technical aspects of patient exposure monitoring, as well as the challenges related to its full implementation and ongoing maintenance.
The primary objective of patiert radiation exposure monitoring l to advance optimizatior it the individual patient level and the operational level and support the establishment of Diagnostic Reference Level: (ORts) as a key tool for optimization.
To achieve this goal, radiation exposure monitoring in medal imaging must encompas ot onty dose metrics but also image quality indicators to ensure quantification of clinica outcomes.
In addition, patient exposure monitoring provides valuable insions into trends in medical imaging doses and practices. Systematic collection and reporting of patient radiation exposure data enable estimation of contributions to collective dose and faciltate reliable comparison across contries and regions.
Furthermore, radiation exposure monitoring data can serve as a resource for epidemiological studies and other research initiatives on radiation effects and associated risks.
