| Dear colleagues,
Thank you for your previous interest in the onlineĀ webinars organized by theĀ IAEA Radiation Protection of Patients UnitĀ (RPOP).
We would like toĀ invite you to join us for our next webinar, which will beĀ held onlineĀ on Friday, 25th November 2022, at 2 pm CEST (Vienna time)Ā in English.
Ā X ray imaging is extensively used in dentistry to diagnose, plan and monitor treatments and to follow up pathological conditions. According to the recent estimates of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), approximately 26% of all global diagnostic radiological examinations in 2020 were dental X rays, double the 2008 estimate. Globally, over one billion dental X rays are performed each year using various techniques. As new technologies emerge to improve dental diagnostic X ray imaging, advanced education and training in radiation protection are key to ensuring that dental professionals are using the equipment in the safest way possible. A recently publishedĀ IAEA Safety Report on Radiation Protection of Dental Radiology, endorsed by the IADMFR, as well as by the World Dental Federation, Image Gently Alliance and the International Organization for Medical Physics, provides specific and detailed guidance on best practices to dental professionals as well as radiation protection experts, regulators and manufacturers of dental imaging equipment. This webinar will provide an overview of the new guidelines and will discuss their implementation into the education and training and clinical practice.
We look forward to seeing you.
