Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
X-ray imaging, covering diagnostic and interventional examinations, is an important part
of modern medicine but on the other hand it forms the largest component of exposure to
artificial ionizing radiation in Europe. Therefore, accurate and consistent quantification of
patient radiation exposure with calibrated dosimetry equipment is essential to comply with
Council Directive (2013/59/Euratom) and to ensure safety to patients. Currently, the
calibration procedures used by calibration laboratories are based on relevant standards
(IEC 61267, IEC 61674, IEC 61676) and international protocols (IAEA TRS-457) however
they do not fully consider the recent technical developments within medical X-ray imaging.
This project will perform a critical assessment of conditions applied in calibrations
compared to those used in clinical practice and will study the performance of different
clinical dosimeters and for calibrations. Based on the results, updated and traceable
measurement and calibration procedures will be proposed to IEC and IAEA for inclusion
into forementioned standards and protocols.
