ABSTRACT
Employers have a duty under IR(ME)R to establish DRLs for radio-diagnostic examinations. European reference levels should be considered when setting DRLs. In the UK, such levels have been based on an ongoing series of national patient dose surveys, the latest being Doses to Patients from Radiographic and Fluoroscopic X-ray Imaging Procedures in the UK 2010 Review (HPA-CRCE-034), which was published by the Health Protection Agency in June 2012.
