Abstract

The system of radiological protection is build on science, experience and ethics reflected in the basic principles in ICRP103, i.e. optimisation of protection, dose limitation and justification. Radiographers are important stakeholders in the maintenance of the system, both legally, ethically and practically. The session reviews different aspects of radiation protection that may form the basis of further development of radiographers’ roles and responsibility.

Session objectives:
1. To understand radiographers' current legal responsibilities regarding radiation protection.
2. To consider the role radiographers play in application of the justification principle.
3. To review recent optimisation techniques for projection radiography.
4. To appreciate how radiographers can best communicate risk-benefit information to patients.
