International Conference on Radiation Protection in Medicine: X Ray Vision - Abstract and Paper Submission

Call for Papers

Contributions on the topics listed above are welcome as poster presentations. All submissions, apart from invited papers, must present original work, which has not been published elsewhere.

1. Submission of Abstracts

Abstracts (approximately 150 to 200 words on one A4 page, may contain any charts, graphs, figures and references) should give enough information on the content of the proposed paper to enable the Programme Committee to evaluate it. Anyone wishing to present at the conference must submit an abstract in electronic format using the conference’s file submission system (IAEA-INDICO), which is accessible from the conference web page (see Section Q of the conference announcement). The abstract can be submitted through this system from 1 March until 2 May 2025. Specifications for the layout will be available on IAEA-INDICO. The system for electronic submission of abstracts, IAEA-INDICO, is the sole mechanism for submission of contributed abstracts. Authors are encouraged to submit abstracts as early as possible. The IAEA will not accept submissions via email.

In addition, authors must register online using the InTouch+ platform (see Section H of the conference announcement). The online registration together with the auto-generated Participation Form (Form A) and Form for Submission of a Paper (Form B) must reach the IAEA no later than 2 May 2025.

IMPORTANT: The Programme Committee will consider uploaded abstracts only if these two forms have been received by the IAEA through the established official channels (see information on Participation and Registration).

2. Acceptance of Abstracts

The Secretariat reserves the right to exclude abstracts that do not comply with its technical or scientific quality standards and that do not apply to one of the topics listed above.

Authors will be informed after 20 June 2025 as to whether their submission has been accepted as a poster, for presentation at the conference. Accepted abstracts will also be reproduced in an unedited electronic compilation of abstracts which will be made available to all registered participants of the conference.

Themes and Topics

The scope of the conference includes optimization and justification in medical exposure; safety in medical uses of ionizing radiation; and radiation protection of patients, medical staff and public, when ionizing radiation is used for diagnosis, intervention, therapy or research. The conference will cover, but is not limited to, the following topical areas:

• Activities relating to the Bonn Call for Action, and their impact.
• Justification in the use of radiation in medicine.
• Radiation protection of patients and staff in diagnostic radiography, fluoroscopy and computed tomography.
• Radiation protection in mammography, dental and maxillofacial imaging and other diagnostic modalities.
• Radiation protection of patients and staff in interventional procedures.
• Radiation protection in medical exposures of children and pregnant women.
• Radiation protection of patients and staff in radiotherapy including brachytherapy.
• Learning from unintended and accidental exposures in medicine.
• Radiation protection of patients, staff and the public in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine and hybrid imaging.
• How are we strengthening radiation safety culture in healthcare?
• How are we fostering and improving the radiation benefit/risk dialogue?
• How are we meeting radiation protection challenges in design and implementation of new medical technologies, including artificial intelligence?
• How are we meeting challenges in patient dose recording, tracking and data management?
• Regional radiation safety campaigns.

Topics for future research and development in medical radiation protection.
