MPE11: Dose management of pregnant patients, pregnant staff and pediatric patients in radiology

Announcement

In view of the increasing spread of the coronavirus in Europe, EUTEMPE-NET has decided to postpone the 2020 edition of the Module 11 (Dose management of pregnant patients, pregnant staff and pediatric patients in radiology). The new dates will be announced later taking into consideration the progress of the situation and the availability of meeting rooms in the University and equipment in the university hospital.

A practical challenge to be solved: How can we better protect the pregnant patient?

Importance and impact of the training module: Estimation of conceptus dose is needed after intentional or inadvertent irradiation of a pregnant patient with a diagnostic X-ray procedure. These low dose exposures may be a source of major anxiety. Children are more radiosensitive than adults. Methods developed to estimate dose to unborn child from diagnostic X-ray examinations performed on the mother will be discussed. This course also addresses present patient specific dosimetry methods associated with radiological examinations for children and adolescents.

Lead: prof. J. Damilakis, author of many scientific publications in this domain and invited lecturer at the European Conference of Radiology during several years, UOC (partner 11).
