Excerpt

The 39 papers published last year in European Radiology and Insights into Imaging in the field of radiation protection represent a huge number, as does the strong increase over the years of the number of electronic posters submitted to ECRs. There are several reasons for this momentum: the basic safety standard (BSS), the most recent European regulation had to be transposed by February 2019, which was important. Furthermore, the development of dose reduction systems based on new technology or image processing, including artificial intelligence, is also a major contributor. …
