Medical experts worldwide have emphasized the need for enhanced radiation protection in medicine through the new Bonn+ Call for Action, which was established at the recent IAEA conference. This initiative builds on the 2012 Bonn Call for Action, aiming to prioritize safety amid rapid technological advancements in medical radiation. The conference brought together over 650 participants from more than 120 countries, including health professionals and researchers, to discuss strategies for optimizing radiation use while minimizing unnecessary exposure. The IAEA has been actively supporting improved safety measures for medical radiation, and Bonn+ will adapt to the evolving healthcare landscape by incorporating advancements such as artificial intelligence and new medical technologies. The collaborative efforts are focused on ensuring safety and quality in clinical care amidst the increasing utilization of radiation in medicine.
