Press And Media

The MEDIRAD Project will have a significant impact on the scientific bases and clinical practice of radiation protection in the medical field. Keeping all stakeholders informed and up-to-date is also a key aim of the project and a range of press and dissemination material will be created at each stage of the project to announce the latest results.

MEDIRAD

The MEDIRAD Project 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.

Funding

This project has received funding from the Euratom research and training programme 2014-2018 under grant agreement No 755523.
