Abstract:
:Training in radiation protection is widely recognised as one of the basic components of optimisation programmes for medical exposures. Occupational and patient radiation risks in interventional radiology can be quite high and international bodies have shown concern on this item. Following recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection and in accordance with the European Directive on medical exposures, some initiatives for training in radiation protection took place in Spain and Luxembourg. These provided practitioners of interventional radiology adequate theoretical and practical training in radiation protection. The main outcome of the pilot courses organised to this end is discussed, concluding its suitability to implement the European Directive in practice.
