Description of activity and work performed
Building a national dose registry requires the collaboration and participation of many institutes equipped with dose management system (DMS). A primary requirement for participating institutes is the utilisation of a DMS so that initial data collection and processing can be performed locally [2.3]. Data submission is designed as a semi-automatic process,
thus minimising the recurring effort of participating institutes and fostering a larger and more up-to-date data corpus. Currently,
a feasibility study is being carried out.
It is concerned with strategical topics such as financing and operations,
but also entails the definition of processes and the development of a proof-of-concept web platform.
During the feasibility study,
a few early adopter radiological institutes are going to be connected.
