Radiation symposium: Dose tracking calls for collaboration, technology
Experts from around the world convened in Washington, DC, today for a two-day symposium on finding better ways to track and utilize medical radiation dose. Collaboration is key, speakers said, because the problem of tracking radiation dose is so big that no single country or governmental agency can solve it alone.
Technology is also enabling real progress in dose monitoring and tracking, speakers said at the 2011 Gilbert Beebe Symposium: Tracking Radiation Exposure From Medical Diagnostic Procedures. Agencies and healthcare centers and governments are leveraging a flurry of advances in healthcare IT to deliver the first truly accurate dose tracking and monitoring methods.
