We would like to inform that in 2024, the National Centre for Radiation Protection in Health Care will start implementing a new project POL9028 entitled “Preventing Tissue Reactions in Interventional Procedures”. The project will be implemented as part of the Technical Cooperation Programme of the International Atomic Energy Agency and is addressed to interventional radiology centres from all over the country.
The project aims to raise the awareness of medical staff participating in the implementation of interventional procedures by promoting those procedures in which radiation protection of the patient is part of good medical practice. During the implementation of the Project, many training courses are planned, enriched with a series of open workshops and study visits to leading foreign interventional radiology centres. In addition, it is also planned to conduct the first national survey on the occurrence of deterministic effects resulting from the interventional procedures, which will set the scene for the future efforts in promoting awareness and safety culture. The main goal is also creating of Simulation Centre in NCRPHC with IR virtual training simulator including the radiation protection module and mobile real-time personal dosimetry system to train medical staff in the field of interventional radiology procedures, including real-time visualization of ionizing radiation and its impact on the dose to the patient and staff.
All materials regarding lectures and other speeches by experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency will be made available on our website and on the National Centre’s YouTube channel.
We encourage you to visit the NCRPHC website and the Project IAEA TC POL9028 tab to follow current events regarding the project!
