Through the auspices of the British Institute of Radiology (BIR), representatives from various UK radiological professional bodies convened to consider the evidence-base for patient contact shielding. They have since produced a document containing their “consensus of opinion as to what constitutes best and agreed practice.”
The aim is to improve consistency in the application of shielding for radiological examinations.
It’s an excellent document that complements the AAPM and kindred organisation circular recently published and posted on this website.
