Basic Safety Standards: help is at hand

The Basic Safety Standards (Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom) change a number of requirements that affect healthcare professionals in radiology (e.g. justification of exposure, patient information, responsibilities for radiation safety, dose reporting, and diagnostic reference levels). With the four-year transition period ending today (February 6), EU member states must have transposed the directive into national laws and regulations, and imaging departments need to comply with these new rules.

Alain Rahmouni (1957 – 2018)

The ESR is shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Prof. Alain Rahmouni on Friday, January 26. Prof. Rahmouni was recognised as a pioneer in the field of MRI, developing cardiac MRI at Henri Mondor Hospital, Créteil, where he was head of the radiology and medical imaging department. He was a passionate and dedicated doctor, a driving force within French radiology, and a long-time friend and member of the ESR. He will be sorely missed by his many colleagues and friends throughout radiology and far beyond.
