Background/Introduction
EuroSafe Imaging Stars is an initiative designed to identify and recognise imaging facilities across Europe that embody best practice in radiation protection.
By partnering with institutions that are committed to putting the principles advocated and concepts developed by the European Society of Radiology into practice,
EuroSafe Imaging aims to bridge the gap from raising awareness and advocacy to impacting the reality of clinical practice.
In this way,
the initiative marks an important step forward in implementing the EuroSafe Imaging Call for Action.
