European healthcare spending on radiological equipment is rising due to new technology. The SENTINEL project addressed radiation protection and safety for digital imaging, covering key patient exams and public radiation dose.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Radiation Protection

Background:

  • Rising healthcare expenditure on radiological equipment in Europe, driven by technological advancements and new clinical practices.
  • Need to assess radiation protection implications of evolving diagnostic imaging technologies.
  • Significant coverage of patient examinations (90%), medical collective dose (60%), and citizen man-made dose (50%) by the SENTINEL project.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To coordinate actions addressing safety and efficacy in digital diagnostic imaging systems, including nuclear medicine.
  • To establish physical and clinical image quality criteria and their linkage.
  • To conduct dosimetry studies for new procedures and develop radiation protection guidelines.

Main Methods:

  • Covers 90% of patient examinations in European Radiology.
