WP 2: Identification of procedures and clinical indications & review of existing clinical DRLs

WP 2 will identify clinical indications and procedures with the greatest need for DRLs for each imaging modality (CT, interventional radiology and radiography). In particular, procedures with the highest contribution to the collective radiation dose of the European population as well as procedures involving high individual patient exposure will be included. In addition, the existing DRLs will be reviewed.
