摘要
This paper deals with the radiation protection of patients in diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine. Modern equipment like CT, PET/CT and SPECT/CT are very important in the daily hospital routine and there is a risk to overuse them, which results in unnecessarily high doses both collectively and to individuals. Detailed referral criteria are needed as well as improved education and training in radiation protection. More frequent contacts between imaging specialists and the referring physicians are also needed.
