The priority for dose aspects was low. This has changed: today CT contributes up to 50% of the resultant collective dose from diagnostic radiology. It is recognised as a high dose modality. text/html 2010-04-21T15:01:25+02:00 http://www.santec.lu/project/dosedeo/symposium_2008 The reference dose values of Luxembourg are based on the European Guidelines on Quality Criteria for Computed Tomography EUR 16262 of the year 1999. Today the reference dose values of 1999 are not representative, because in the last years the technical development of computed tomography was a rapid progress. Before new refernence dose values are fixed, an optimisation is performed to ensure optimal dose values for the most important protocols. text/html 2010-04-21T15:01:25+02:00 http://www.santec.lu/project/dosedeo/symposium_2010 Introduction Un premier symposium a été organisé en novembre 2007 avec pour but de présenter les résultats d’une enquête nationale en matière d’exposition des patients aux rayonnements ionisants lors d’examens CT. Il en est ressorti la nécessité d’optimiser cette exposition, d’autant plus que le nombre d’examens CT est toujours conséquent et en constante augmentation. Une première phase d’optimisation a été menée avec l’aide du Dr D. Tack, médecin-radiologue, et a été finalisée début 2009. …
