The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has initiated a major international initiative to train interventional cardiologists in radiation protection as a part of its International Action Plan on the radiological protection of patients. A simple programme of two days' training has been developed, covering possible and observed radiation effects among patients and staff, international standards, dose management techniques, examples of good and bad practice and examples indicating prevention of possible injuries as a result of good practice of radiation protection. The training material is freely available on CD from the IAEA. The IAEA has conducted two events in 2004 and 2005 and number of events are planned in 2006. The survey conducted among the cardiologists participating in these programmes indicates that over 80% of them were attending such a structured programme on radiation protection for the first time. As the magnitude of X-ray usage in cardiology grows to match that in interventional radiology, the standards of training on radiation effects, radiation physics and radiation protection in interventional cardiology should also match those in interventional radiology.
国际原子能机构（IAEA）已发起一项重大国际倡议，作为其患者放射防护国际行动计划的一部分，对介入心脏病专家进行辐射防护培训。现已制定了一个为期两天的简单培训计划，内容涵盖患者和工作人员中可能出现的以及已观察到的辐射影响、国际标准、剂量管理技术、良好与不良做法示例，以及表明通过良好的辐射防护措施可预防可能伤害的示例。培训材料可从国际原子能机构免费获取光盘。国际原子能机构在2004年和2005年举办了两次活动，并计划在2006年举办多场活动。对参与这些项目的心脏病专家进行的调查表明，超过80%的专家是首次参加这样一个关于辐射防护的结构化项目。随着心脏病学中X射线使用量的增加，以与介入放射学中的使用量相匹配，介入心脏病学中关于辐射影响、辐射物理学和辐射防护的培训标准也应与介入放射学中的标准相匹配。
