Towards an integrated medical system for radiological medical imaging investigations
Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
The continuously increasing number of medical investigations using radiological methods imposes the strong necessity of informing patients about benefits and risks regarding radiation absorbed doses. Tracking the radiation doses absorbed by patients must be a future challenge of any medical system. The effective doses received by patients in many types of medical investigations must be calculated, transformed, recorded and cumulated. Doctors and patients must be very responsible in prescribing or demanding new radiological medical investigations. Radiological standards, legislation, guidelines, programmers and practice supervised by international commissions on radiology protection must include new specific measures for patients’ cumulated doses. A pilot Romanian project had tried to accomplish some of these tasks.
