The scope of the programme is broad, covering all fields
of ionising and non-ionising radiation, ranging from detection methods
and dosimetry to societal issues. Biological and health effects of
ionising radiation focus on low dose risk, and presentations on topics
like non-cancer effects and individual sensitivity are foreseen.
In line with the new ICRP recommendations, the programme
includes the three main categories of exposure situations: planned,
emergency and existing exposures. Special areas of interest in the
patient protection domain are e.g. medical exposure of pediatric
patients, PET (PET/CT), justification applied to individual patients,
radiation protection in radiotherapy, clinical audits, and new medical
techniques. Justification, optimisation and ethics are always in focus.
As for emergency situations,
recent efforts to improve security include prevention of illicit
trafficking, security of sealed sources and security at major public
events. New technological opportunities that help improve safety and aid
