The IAEA recently launched its 2025 side events focusing on patient protection, revealing findings from an international study regarding radiation risks from medical X-ray procedures. The study examined the implications of real-time X-ray imaging in guiding medical instruments and emphasized the need for patient follow-up programs to address potential tissue reactions. IAEA Radiation Protection Specialist Vesna Gershan highlighted the importance of raising awareness on these issues. Full results from the study will be published in scientific forums. Additionally, a webinar related to the event is available for those who missed it, along with an invitation to the upcoming International Conference on Radiation Protection in Medicine scheduled for December 8-12.
