Description

This publication provides comprehensive guidance on dose management systems (DMS), an essential tool for advancing quality assurance, patient safety and optimization in medical imaging. DMS technology has become integral to modern clinical practice, enabling the collection, monitoring and evaluation of patient dose metrics and technical data from both ionizing and non-ionizing imaging modalities. Beyond dose tracking, these systems facilitate the optimization of imaging protocols, enhance quality management programmes and support regulatory compliance, which make them indispensable for improving diagnostic accuracy and patient care. This publication is targeted at health professionals, including clinically qualified medical physicists, medical radiation technologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians and health managers.
