Implications of Medical Low Dose Radiation Exposure

MEDIRAD aims to enhance the scientific bases and clinical practice of radiation protection in the medical field and thereby addresses the need to better understand and evaluate the health effects of low-dose ionising radiation exposure from diagnostic and therapeutic imaging and from off-target effects in radiotherapy.

About Medirad

The MEDIRAD Project is +4-year project aimed at enhancing the scientific bases and clinical practice of radiation protection in the medical field. The European Commission recently agreed to a cost-neutral 9-month extension of the project and it will now conclude in February 2022.

Work packages

The MEDIRAD Project consists of six interdependent work packages, each of which contains tasks and deliverables vital to the project's success.
