EU 1 - CT in health assessment of asymptomatic individuals: a framework for good governance

Under the framework of WHO's Global Initiative on Radiation Safety in Health Care Settings, WHO launched a project to improve justification and clinical governance of the use of CT in asymptomatic people for individual health assessment (“CT-IHA”). The session will provide an overview of the WHO publication "CT-IHA" that addresses the intended public health benefits vs potential harms as well as the costs, ethics and service implications for individuals and the society. A panel discussion with all speakers and the chair will focus on possible implications of the "CT-IHA" for public health authorities and radiation protection regulators.
