Current status of regulatory identification of radon priority areas in Italy
1National Inspectorate for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection, Via Capitan Bavastro 116, 00154 Rome, Italy.
Abstract:
In 2020, Italy transposed Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom, establishing national criteria for identifying radon priority areas. In 2024, further guidance was provided by the adoption of the national radon action plan. Between 2022 and 2025, priority areas were identified in a part of the country where adequate radon measurement surveys had been carried out. The main choices applied are outlined, and the current situation is presented for the first time, allowing parameters to be quantified, including the number of buildings involved and the expected number of buildings above the reference level within priority areas.

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...

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...
