Establishing National diagnostic reference levels in the Russian Federation based on regional dose surveys
(2015) 12th International Conference on Medical Physics in the Baltic States In Medical Physics in the Baltic States p.11-14- Abstract
- Establishing diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in a big country is complicated due to differences in radiological practice between different regions. In 2009-2014, a dose survey was performed in six Russian regions. Based on the results of the survey, preliminary DRLs for conventional X-ray examinations were established on a national level. Additionally, the local authorities were granted the possibility to establish regional DRLs if the local dose distributions significantly differed from the proposed national DRLs.
