Radiation Protection 167. International Symposium on Non-medical Imaging (Proceedings of the Symposium held in Dublin on 8-9 October 2009).

The European Commission decided to call an international meeting in 2009 to review the development radiation protection in the non-medical imaging area and to discuss with stakeholders the newly developed draft EU BSS provisions on those practices. The meeting brought together a wide range of experts from very different disciplines, ranging from ethics and philosophy, through sport and forensic medicine, to security and law-enforcement. International organizations, most notably the International Atomic Energy Agency, made major contributions to the meeting. This allowed on the one hand to review the developments and to discuss the legal and regulatory framework within which the NMIE procedures shouldbe implemented, on the other hand to provide discussion material and conclusions which can serve as a basis for future guidance in the area.
