The ISR and ISRQSA will function as a primary actor and facilitator through this Call for Action.
ISR endorsed editorial on multiple imaging examinations
Multiple imaging examinations and cumulative effective dose are an increasingly topical issue. In their editorial “Looking critically at the paradigm of radiation exposure from multiple imaging examinations” that has just been published in European Radiology, ISRQSA Co-Chairs D. Frush and G. Frija state that imaging decisions need to be based on a benefit-risk approach taking into account the existing principles of justification and optimization.
