Establishing an effective radiation dose management program requires a change in organizational culture, as well as tools and collaboration. Elements such as imaging protocol harmonization across the institution, data recording and analysis, patient education on radiation awareness, and a common set of expectations regarding departmental safety are key to success.

In 2013, Euratom issued Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom, which lays down basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionizing radiation. This new directive supersedes previous directives and significantly impacts radiology departments across Europe.
The standards defined in Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom are based on recommendations from ICRP and are comparable to the IAEA (International) basic safety standards for radiation safety. To be in compliance, your institution must be ready to meet these new standards by 6 February, 2018.
