Radiation Protection Subcommittee

Interactive awareness campaign | Practical tutorials | Test your knowledge | Never stop learning | Subcommittee members

Radiation protection and dose management are particularly important topics for interventional radiologists’ daily practice. CIRSE is dedicated to offering comprehensive education and practical advice on these issues through different initiatives and across its online and live educational portfolio, in order to optimally raise awareness about radiation protection in the IR community. The Radiation Protection Subcommittee, a group of internationally renowned experts in the field, was established in 2012 to steer the society’s efforts in the direction of this field. The Subcommittee also represents CIRSE in the EuroSafe Imaging campaign and in other relevant European Commission tenders.

Interactive awareness campaign

In 2014, the Subcommittee launched CIRSE’s first annual awareness campaign for radiation safety, the Radiation Protection Pavilion (RPP). The RPP offers congress participants the opportunity to attend expert talks and to explore the latest products for radiation protection and dose management, presented by our industry partners. Over the years, the RPP has covered important topics such as cataract awareness, the new European Basic Safety Standards Directive, advice on “How to Keep Your Angio Suite Smart & Safe” and much more.
