The Consultative Committee for Ionizing Radiation (CCRI) and the consortium of Metrology Partnership project Traceability in medical X-ray imaging dosimetry (22NRM01, TraMeXI) will organise this online seminar. It will offer an overview of the existing landscape in X-ray imaging dosimetry and proposes necessary updates to enhance accuracy and align with predefined objectives.
Medical X-ray imaging constitutes the most significant source of exposure to artificial ionising radiation. Accurate quantification of radiation exposure, facilitated by calibrated dosimetry equipment, is imperative for ensuring patient safety and adherence to fundamental safety protocols. Calibration laboratories adhere to established standards and international protocols in their procedures. However, these protocols may not fully integrate recent advancements in technology and evolving clinical practices in X-ray imaging. Consequently, there is a pressing need for a critical evaluation of current calibration and measurement methodologies, as well as an update of relevant standards and protocols.
