The use of ionizing radiation is regulated by legislative bodies to limit both individuals' and the population's exposure to radiation. Germany has implemented the European 97/43/EURATOM directive in national law by updating the existing radiation protection regulations. The German Commission on Radiological Protection regularly publishes statements and recommendations on radiation protection in medicine and diagnostic radiology, such as the introduction of diagnostic reference levels and referral guidelines for radiological and nuclear medicine imaging.
Review of selected literature, national and international recommendations and legal texts.
From a radiological protection perspective, clear justification for radiological examinations and techniques aimed at minimizing radiation dose while providing the required diagnostic information, are essential.
Referring doctors should be sure to use existing guidelines for medical imaging, and liaise with radiologists and nuclear medicine specialists, with whom they share the responsibility for choosing appropriate imaging modalities.
立法机构对电离辐射的使用进行了规范,以限制个人和人群接触辐射。德国通过更新现有的辐射防护法规,将欧洲 97/43/EURATOM 指令纳入国家法律。德国放射防护委员会定期发布有关医学和诊断放射学辐射防护的声明和建议,例如引入诊断参考水平和放射学及核医学影像学转诊指南。
对选定文献、国家和国际建议以及法律文本进行回顾。
从放射防护的角度来看,明确的放射检查和旨在尽量减少辐射剂量同时提供所需诊断信息的技术是至关重要的。
转诊医生应确保使用现有的医学影像学指南,并与放射科医生和核医学专家保持联系,他们共同承担选择适当影像学方式的责任。
