Safety in Radiology (Radiation, MRI, Ultrasound, Interventional Procedures, and Contrast Media)

From the early days of radiology, protecting humans from the possible harmful effects of imaging technologies has remained an important concern for radiologists. This applies to patients undergoing imaging procedures and to imaging professionals using them. In line with the aims and objectives of the European Training Curriculum, this chapter aims to stimulate a deep and detailed understanding of safety issues in radiology related to all applied imaging technologies including contrast media.
