Background:
The entry of the new Radiation Protection Act and new Radiation Protection Regulation into force in Germany created many changes for radiology with regard to the old Radiation Protection Regulation and X‑ray Regulation.
Objectives:
The substantial modifications in radiology regarding the areas of approval and notification procedures, teleradiology, screening, research and radon in the workplace are summarized.
Method:
Changes in the new Radiation Protection Act and Regulation compared to the old Radiation Protection Regulation and X‑ray Regulation were evaluated. Thereby, the focus was on areas beyond the workflow in clinical routine.
Results And Conclusion:
The requirements for the approval and notification procedure have increased. For example, proof must be provided that a medical physics expert can be consulted. The establishment of deadlines for the process by the responsible authorities may accelerate the procedure and create planning certainty.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
