Ces vingt dernières années, la Commission des Communautés européennes a publié plusieurs directives qui ont eu un impact important sur la radioprotection des travailleurs, du public et des patients dans le domaine de l'utilisation médicale des rayonnements ionisants. Ce texte présente, brièvement, les directives se rapportant à ce domaine, puis considère de façon plus détaillée l'article 5 de la directive concernant la protection du patient (84/466 Euratom) qui établit qu'"un expert qualifié en radiophysique doit être disponible pour les installations lourdes de radiothérapie et de médecine nucléaire". Les travaux de la Fédération européenne des organisations de physique médicale sur l'interprétation et la mise en place de cet article sont ensuite discutés.
Abstract
Over the last two decades, the Commission of the European Communities (CEC) has issued several directives that have an important impact on radiation protection in health care for workers, public and patients. This paper reviews briefly the relevant directives, then considers in greater detail article 5 of the protection of the patient directive (84/166 Euratom) which states that "A qualified expert in radiophysics must be available to sophisticated departments of radiotherapy and nuclear medicine"(1). Work carried out by the European federation of organisations of medical physics (EFOMP) on the interpretation and implementation of this article will then be discussed.
