Referral Guidelines for Imaging – EC Tender
In April 2011 the EC published an invitation to tender for the implementation of Council Directive 97/43/Euratom requirements concerning referral criteria for medical imaging in the European Union. The objective of this tender is to review the situation in the EU Member States regarding the fulfilment of their obligations under the Medical Exposure Directive Article 6.2 (97/43/EURATOM). The ESR successfully applied for this Tender together with a consortium of organisations experienced in guideline work.
