Dose Management in contemporary radiological practice

This event is organised jointly by the BIR and IPEM.

Radiation doses to patients have been and remain of considerable interest in benchmarking radiological practice from both professional and regulatory viewpoints. Whilst RIS and PACS systems have long been considered essential to the day-to-day operation and work of radiology professionals, equivalent systems that effectively and efficiently handle, process and manage dose information are not similarly integrated into service ICT structures. Extracting reliable dose information and other key study and patient metrics is as a result time consuming, inefficient and prone to numerous sources of error. Time can be disproportionately spent on the process at the expense of using that information to improve the quality of imaging and of service to patients.

This meeting aims to bring together radiological professionals, medical physicists, PACS managers and industry specialists to share knowledge, experience and best practice in putting into place Dose Management - ‘the last piece of the Radiology jigsaw’.

The meeting comprises a mix of papers and parallel DMS supplier sessions where delegates can see and hear about DMS systems from the suppliers, including opportunities to have their questions answered.
