Dose management of pregnant patients, pregnant staff and pediatric patients in radiology. Comienzo online: 1 abril 2020. Presencial: 25-29 mayo 2020.  Heraklion (Grecia).

A practical challenge to be solved: How can we better protect the pregnant patient?

Importance and impact of the training module: Estimation of conceptus dose is needed after intentional or inadvertent irradiation of a pregnant patient with a diagnostic X-ray procedure. These low dose exposures may be a source of major anxiety. Children are more radiosensitive than adults. Methods developed to estimate dose to unborn child from diagnostic X-ray examinations performed on the mother will be discussed. This course also addresses present patient specific dosimetry methods associated with radiological examinations for children and adolescents.
