Project description
Protection from radiation in medicine
In the medical sector, ionising radiation is used for X-rays and other medical imaging tests. Exposure to ionising radiation may present risks to patients. The EU-funded EURAMED rocc-n-roll project will analyse research and radiation protection needs in relevant clinical disciplines by engaging a wide range of disciplines and stakeholders and supporting clinical translation. EURAMED rocc-n-roll will generate a strategic research agenda for research and innovation in medical applications using ionising radiation and radiation protection, and a relevant roadmap. It will also formulate recommendations for future research, including the eventual necessity for centres of excellence in this field. Moreover, education and training schemes for health workforce and scientists will be developed to increase Europe’s research capacity in the field.
Objective
The 3-year EURAMED rocc-n-roll project aims to propose an integrated and coordinated European approach to research and innovation in medical applications of ionising radiation and related radiation protection based on stakeholder consensus and existing activities in the field (incl. existing SRAs of radiation protection platforms, EC health and digitisation programmes, EURATOM-funded projects, SAMIRA initiative). To achieve this, research and radiation protection needs in the clinical disciplines using ionising radiation will be analysed with the aim to generate the largest benefit for the European population in an equal, safe, high-quality way throughout Europe, by fostering clinical translation, while also strengthening economic growth and industrial competitiveness, supported by research and innovation in the field.
Representation of relevant radiation protection disciplines like radiation biology, dosimetry for medical applications, ethics as well as clinical expertise in the fields of radiology, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, oncology, cardiovascular diseases, neurology, paediatrics complemented by regulatory and health policy, AI and industry experts in the consortium will ensure a fully integrative approach and allow a broader framework of quality and safety in healthcare. Based on wide stakeholder input and consultation on above aspects, EURAMED rock-n-roll will produce an SRA for medical applications of ionising radiation and related radiation protection and a corresponding roadmap, as well as an interlink document, integrating the views and identifying synergies from the areas of radiation protection, health research and digitisation, with impactful guidance to the EC and stakeholders on future research including the potential needs for centres of excellence in this area. This will be accompanied by education and training schemes for health workforce and scientists to increase Europe’s research capacity in the field.
