Personal/Organisational information
The goal of the IAEA Division of Human Health is to enhance the capabilities in Member States to address needs related to the prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of diseases through the application of nuclear techniques.
This mandate arises from Article II of the IAEA's Statute: "The Agency shall seek to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to peace,
health and prosperity throughout the world."
The Dosimetry and Medical Radiation Physics (DMRP) section is responsible for the quality assurance (QA) aspects of the use of radiation in medicine to ensure safety and effectiveness,
and deals with the science and technology involved in this area.
The accurate measurement of radiation dose (dosimetry) is important in various applications such as radiation oncology,
diagnostic radiology,
nuclear medicine and radiation protection.
