[Improving the Evidence Base for Radiation Protection in Paediatric Diagnostic Radiology: Key Findings from the EPI-CT Study]

Register Here

Moderator: Chadia Rizk (IAEA)

Presenters: Richard Harbron (United Kingdom), Ausrele Kesminiene (France)

About the webinar

Computed tomography (CT) plays a vital role in modern healthcare. The relatively high doses (compared to general radiography) raise concerns about potential cancer risks, however the magnitude of these risks is highly uncertain.
The ‘Epidemiological study to quantify risks for paediatric CT and to optimise doses’ (EPI-CT) was launched to:

Establish a large multinational cohort of paediatric and adolescent patients who received CT scans suitable for long-term follow-up;
Develop individual estimates of organ-specific doses from CT scans using improved methods for dose estimation;
Investigate the relationship between radiation dose from CT in paediatric and adolescent patients and potential long-term health outcomes.

This webinar will provide an overview of key findings from the EPI-CT study, emphasizing the need for targeted radiation protection measures when imaging paediatric patients. Experts will discuss the necessity of justification (ensuring that CT scans are medically warranted) and optimization (minimizing exposure while maintaining diagnostic quality).

Learning objectives

To understand the motivation, methodology, key findings and implications of the EPI-CT study.
To highlight the importance of justification in medical exposure to protect children.
To learn about the evidence base for optimization of exposures in paediatric CT imaging.

[ICRP Publication 155 on Specific Absorbed Fractions for Reference Paediatric Individuals]

Abstract - The calculation of doses to organs and tissues of interest due to internally emitting radionuclides requires knowledge of the time-dependent distribution of the radionuclide, its physical decay properties, and the fraction of emitted energy absorbed per mass of the target. The latter property is quantified as the specific absorbed fraction (SAF). This publication provides photon, electron, alpha particle, and neutron (for nuclides undergoing spontaneous fission) SAF values for the suite of reference individuals.

[AOSR] AsiaSafe: ICRP Webinar on Presenting Report on Production of Dose Coefficients For the Assessment of Internal Exposure of Workers and Members of the Public

【AOSR事務局からのお知らせ】（2023.12.05付）

The objectives of TG 95 from ICRP are to revise the ICRP 30 and ICRP 56 Publications series on dose coefficients after internal exposure. The deliverables are report series providing revised dose coefficients for occupational (OIR) and public intake of radionuclides (EIR).

The work initiated these last few years was dedicated to the revision of the biokinetic models following inhalation and ingestion of different chemical forms of elements and their radioisotopes by workers. Revisions have also been made on many models for the systemic biokinetics of radionuclides absorbed to blood, making them more physiologically realistic representations of uptake and retention in organs and tissues and of excretion. All these data were published in the OIR reports together with new dose coefficients and data for the interpretation of bioassay measurements. Five reports were published (ICRP Publication 130, 134, 137, 141, 151), covering every element considered in ICRP publication 107 on nuclear decay data (ICRP, 2018).

The ongoing work of the TG addresses the need to revise the biokinetic and dosimetric models for the members of the public. The TG therefore adapts the biokinetic models developed in the workers series to take into account specific chemical forms from the environment and different age groups. Similarly to the OIR Series, the TG produces dose coefficients for easy calculation of dose after intake at different age, including nursing infant, embryo and fetus.

【AOSR事務局からのお知らせ】（2023.10.06付）

https://www.iaea.org/publications/14790/clinical-applications-of-spect-ct

Description
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been used in routine diagnostic applications and in research since the 1980s. In the following decades, as the clinical application of hybrid imaging has grown, SPECT–computed tomography (SPECT–CT) has demonstrated improved patient management and become fully integrated in the routine diagnostic approach to a variety of clinical indications, including both oncologic and non-oncologic diseases. This IAEA Human Health Series publication presents a review of the published data from recent applications of SPECT–CT across nine different clinical scenarios including neurology, orthopaedics, endocrinology and cardiology, to demonstrate the variety of hybrid imaging in nuclear medicine and support decision making when allocating resources in the health care system. It provides a relevant source of information for nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists and clinical practitioners.

[AOSR] Patient Radiation Exposure Monitoring in Medical Imaging

【AOSR事務局からのお知らせ】（2023.07.19付）

https://www.iaea.org/publications/14971/patient-radiation-exposure-monitoring-in-medical-imaging

Description
Written to assist the implementation in medical imaging practice of the requirements of the IAEA Safety Standards Series No. GSR Part 3, Radiation Protection and Safety of Radiation Sources: International Basic Safety Standards, this publication provides consolidated information and detailed advice for setting and implementing patient radiation exposure monitoring programmes at the local or national level. In medical imaging using ionizing radiation, including X ray diagnostic radiology, diagnostic nuclear medicine and image guided interventional procedures, radiation protection of patients is achieved by selecting the most appropriate imaging procedure for the individual needs of the patient and by keeping exposure to the minimum necessary to achieve the diagnostic and interventional objective. Monitoring of radiation exposure of patients provides critical information for health care professionals and authorities who are responsible for ensuring justified and optimized use of radiation in medicine. This Safety Report provides guidance on recording, collecting and analysing relevant patient exposure data by using manual or automatic means. An aim of the publication is to encourage the future use and development of automatic digital systems to improve access to information about patient radiation exposure and thus contribute to improved implementation of the requirements for radiation protection of patients throughout the world.

Regarding the AsiaSafe message

【AOSR事務局からのお知らせ】（2023.02.21付）

Another MRI tragic accident occurred recently. A man was accompanying his mother for an MRI scan at a Brazilian hospital. His gun was discharged while accompanying his mother to her MRI scan; he was seriously injured and remained hospitalized. He died on February 6th. The MRI magnet's effects were blamed for the gun's accidental discharge. Both the patient and her son had received instruction on MRI processes and safety procedures, including the requirement to leave any metallic objects outside the MRI suite.
The unfortunate incident highlights two critical points.
(1) Even detailed patient guidance on what is acceptable and unacceptable in an MRI suite may not result in appropriate patient or accompanying person action. In this case, both the patient and the accompanying person (the son) signed a declaration acknowledging receipt of the instructions but failed to remove the metallic object (the gun).
It is possible that the guidance was overlooked or dismissed as a formality because the patient and her son were preoccupied with the upcoming procedure and its potential outcomes. It is possible that this was an unintentional, honest mistake, but one with serious consequences because the son was used to carrying the firearm as a habit and may not have given it much thought. There are several consent and procedural aspects in healthcare, and the importance of each one may not be fully understood by the patient and the accompanying person.
(2) MRI suites should consider incorporating the use of specialized garment even for patient and accompanying person. This reduces the possibility of any additional external metallic or prohibited objects. This may be difficult to implement for all patients, but it should be considered mandatory for all accompanying persons. Aside from the guidance, this may help to limit the entry of unwanted objects into the MRI suite.

MRI injuries are uncommon; however, given the potential for serious consequences, they must be avoided to the greatest extent possible. The approach must include a balance of health education, guidance, and practical actions that patients and caregivers, as well as the health care system, can implement.

To avoid future MR accidents, it is time to implement the guidelines and apply the vigilance that the airline industry does.
It's time to reinforce AsiaSafe campaign on MR Safety.

IAEA Human Health Series No. 41 and 45

【AOSR事務局からのお知らせ】（2023.01.18付）

Clinical Applications of SPECT–CT

IAEA Human Health Series No. 41

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been used in routine diagnostic applications and in research since the 1980s. In the following decades, as the clinical application of hybrid imaging has grown, SPECT–computed tomography (SPECT–CT) has demonstrated improved patient management and become fully integrated in the routine diagnostic approach to a variety of clinical indications, including both oncologic and non-oncologic diseases. This IAEA Human Health Series publication presents a review of the published data from recent applications of SPECT–CT across nine different clinical scenarios including neurology, orthopaedics, endocrinology and cardiology, to demonstrate the variety of hybrid imaging in nuclear medicine and support decision making when allocating resources in the health care system. It provides a relevant source of information for nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists and clinical practitioners.

PET-CT for the Management of Cancer Patients: a Review of the Existing Evidence

IAEA Human Health Series No. 45

While the use of positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET–CT) is a standard of care in oncological practice in many developed countries, it is still limited in many low to middle income nations. To make reliable information more widely available, the IAEA convened an expert consultant group to review, based on the most recent developments of PET radiopharmaceuticals, Human Health Series No. 9, Appropriate Use of FDG-PET for the Management of Cancer Patients. This, the resulting publication, provides up to date recommendations on the optimal use of PET–CT imaging procedures in oncology. It is written for policy makers and decision makers who allocate resources dedicated to the health care system, a critical issue in the development of nuclear medicine in low and middle income countries. It will also benefit medical imaging practitioners as well as referring physicians.

IS3R: Podcasts and Global Scan Update

【AOSR事務局からのお知らせ】（2022.11.14付）

Dear IS3R Members, ELC Members, Extraordinary Members and Corporate Partners,

I am pleased to announce the online posting of the Fall 2022 Global scan content. As you may recall, Global Scan consists of short summaries highlighting strategic initiatives from a number of “Extraordinary Member” societies. The purpose is to make the broader membership aware of these initiatives and to promote enhanced cooperation and collaboration globally. A review of this month’s posts shows a convergence of focus on key strategic issues that face our field. These included value-based radiology initiatives, enhanced efforts at communication to patients and providers, and efforts to address issues of equality, diversity, and fairness among society members in these different organizations.

In this posting, the ACR (American College of Radiology) reports on the development of appropriateness criteria for 8 new topics and interesting the development of patient-friendly summaries of the existing appropriateness criteria with some video animations suitable for patients and referring physicians to aid in communications. The ACR also describes the launch of a new registry of patients with Alzheimer’s Disease (ALZ NET) who have undergone treatment. The goal is to track long term outcomes in patients undergoing a number of different treatments.

The AOSR (Asian-Oceanian Society of Radiology) has identified “value-based radiology” as a key initiative, and has surveyed membership to help focus this effort. The results suggest that improvement of communication with patients and providers is a high priority area. In addition, the results suggest a need to increase efforts on development and promotion of appropriate use criteria as well as on enhanced tools for structured reporting.

The ESR (European Society of Radiology) reports on a large scale effort to directly engage with patients. This was a focus of the 2022 Annual meeting. Meeting-related content on this topic is available for review through “ESR Connect.” They have also launched an exciting initiative called “Be Accepted, “to provide a range of useful information for women with cancer.

The RSNA reports on the continuing development of its Global Learning Center initiative which aims to enhance radiologic education and patient care globally. Working with sites in different regions the content can be customized to the specific needs in each location.

The WFUMB reports on the efforts of a task force enhance the society governance and to promote equality, diversity and fairness among members. They also announced a new open access journal that they are launching.

Three new video podcasts with new IS3R members are also posted. These include conversations with Prof. Richard Ehman, from Rochester Minnesota, Prof. Alexander Norbash of San Diego, California and Prof. Ulrike Attenberger of Bonn, Germany. I want to thank the ACR for their support of the production of these podcasts.

I hope you will all enjoy getting to know these remarkable leaders through these conversations.
I hope you enjoy this edition of Global Scan and as always, I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Best Regards,
Herbert Y. Kressel, Scientific and Communications Director

We hope that everyone will use this to encourage any form of the MDA, be it a formal team set up or just be more available to interactions with your non-radiology colleagues. We acknowledge there are many challenges in our various regions from resources to expertise and administration/national policies. The position has taken that into account. It is also available on the AOSR website (theaosr.org).

The Value Based Radiology Survey in Asia-Oceania by June 4, 2022

【AOSRからの情報】（2022.5.11付）

In 2021, the Asian Oceanian Society of Radiology (AOSR) participated in the International Society for Strategic Studies in Radiology (IS3R) Value Based Radiology (VBR) strategic planning process. Since then, the IS3R has ratified the VBR Strategic Plan to promote VBR worldwide.
This survey is open to all radiologists, radiology & hospital management and related healthcare policy and decision makers.

- Google Survey Link: https://forms.gle/uXNAryefY9rECFYLA

If you could not access to the above link, please kindly find the attached survey form, complete it and send to the office (office@aosr.kr) by June 4, 2022.

Thank you for participating in this survey. In the process, we hope this will create greater awareness of how we can bring value or if already practicing aspects of VBR, how we can enhance value to our patients and all the healthcare stakeholders.

[About the AOSR VBR Survey]

The 29 questions in this survey are based on the Prioritized Tactics of the Strategic Plan- summarized as follows:

Appropriate use criteria: Expand impact of AUC and decision support by seeking greater input from non-radiology specialty societies
Quality Safety: Prevent/reduce duplicate follow-up exams by ensuring secure access to patient imaging and reports within a centre and region/country
Economics: Industry partners expand understanding of imaging equipment purchases with key performance indicators that measure patient outcomes
Communication 1 : Research/training in direct patient communication and establish database of good radiologist communicators to be made available to the mass media
Communication 2: Develop tool/app to provide patients with disease/imaging specific information, patient-friendly decision support, and report in lay language
Collaboration: Radiologists and referrers work in multidisciplinary teams to better understand each other's needs and respond to critical gaps in patient care.

For the details, please download the IS3R VBR Strategic Plan Oct 2021 from this link
