25:00Panel discussion: How does developing imaging technology and patient-centred medicine affect the radiation exposure to the heart?
This session is designed to give a broad overview of radiation protection and effects related to cardiac examinations using x-rays. The first lecture introduces ICRP's perspective on radiation risk and its effects on the cardiovascular system. The second talk focuses on radiation doses to the heart and optimisation in interventional radiology. The third talk covers radiation doses to the heart in computed tomography. It explains the possibilities of most modern technology (e.g. photon-counting CT) and AI in the dose optimisation of cardiac scans.
