The Horizon 2020 MEDIRAD project on implications of medical low dose radiation exposure coordinated by EIBIR was launched in June 2017 to enhance the scientific bases and practice of radiation protection in the medical field. MEDIRAD Work Package 2 aims at developing novel methodologies to reduce patient and staff radiation dose and potential radiation-related risks of cancer and non-cancer outcomes from chest imaging while maintaining or improving diagnostic information from existing and emerging techniques.
