This session will explore the momentum toward achieving the highest quality, safest, most efficient, and most appropriate uses of medical imaging worldwide, across the entire clinical imaging pathway and within diverse country contexts. Topics will cover imaging appropriateness; the role of EuroSafe in strengthening quality and safety across borders; the updated IAEA global data on medical imaging access and its efforts to improve imaging sustainability, including technology transfer and capacity building; and the evolving role of AI in clinical imaging and research.
