Scope of application The regulation sets forth the requirements for the protection of a person against the hazards of ionising radiation during medical radiology procedures. 2. Terms The following terms are used for the purposes of this regulation: 1) dosage restriction maximal permitted effective dosage for an individual, which is determined by optimising the procedure performed with certain medical radiation equipment; 2) approval tests tests directly preceding the start of using a medical radiation device for the first time or after its reconstruction to verify the safety and performance indicators prescribed for the device and to determine the base values of the performance indicators; 3) radiation protection equipment personal protection equipment used in medical radiology procedures to protect an individual undergoing radiation against the undesired damaging effects of radiation; 4) assistant to an individual undergoing radiation a person who knowingly and willingly (other than a part of his or her work) helps a patient undergoing medical radiation during a medical radiology procedure; 5) a specialist of medical physics a person who has a professional certificate of an engineer of biomedical technology; 6) medical radiation device a device emitting or registering ionising radiation used in medical radiology procedures; 7) clinical audit of medical radiology procedures (hereinafter clinical audit ) systematic review of the clinical performance of the use of medical radiation, inter alia, of the medical radiology practices for the purpose of safety and enhanced quality, and comparison with the standards of good practices, and where relevant, changing the practices or updating the standards; 8) quality manual documents describing the quality system of radiation safety; 9) patient dosage dosage of the patients undergoing medical radiation or other examined persons; 10) radiology technician a person who has professional higher education or a person who has the professional certificate of a radiology technician; 11) reference value reference level of a patient dosage or activity of a radio-pharmaceutical drug for a patient of a standard size, which is used for the purpose of optimising the patient dosage; 12) standard procedure a diagnostic medical radiology procedure regarding which a reference value is determined; 13) a patient of standard size an imaginary patient weighing 70±3 kg whose average patient dose calculated for him or her is compared with the reference value; 14) functioning tests tests regularly conducted during the use of a medical radiation device to verify the safety and functioning indicators of the medical radiation device. 3. General requirements (1) The direct benefits from performing a medical radiology procedure for human health and society must outweigh the potential damage resulting from exposure of a person to radiation (requirement of the justifiability of the use of the medical radiation). Any unjustified performance of a medical radiology procedure shall be prohibited. (2) Before performing a medical radiology procedure, an alternative method suitable for the achievement of the same clinical objective shall be considered, including the option of using a method that does not involve medical radiation.

2 (3) When performing a medical radiology procedure, the radiation dosage shall be kept as low as possible and reasonable to achieve the objective of the procedure (requirement of the optimisation of diagnostic medical radiation). When using medical radiation for therapeutic purposes, the radiation dosage shall be administered to the target tissue on an individual basis, while keeping the radiation dosage around the target tissue as low as possible to achieve the objective of radiation therapy (the requirement of the optimisation of therapeutic medical radiation). (4) The requirement of the optimisation of therapeutic medical radiation includes the selection of an appropriate medical device, ensuring the regularity of the medical radiology procedure, and evaluation of the activity of the patient dose or administered radio-pharmaceutical drug. (5) No dosage restrictions are applied to the medical radiation of a patient. A holder of the licence for radiation activity shall establish dosage restrictions for an assistant to a person undergoing radiation or a person voluntarily participating in a scientific study where for these persons the direct benefits from the use of medical radiation are not certain. (6) If the proposed dosage restriction of an assistant to a person undergoing radiation is higher than 5 msv, or if the dosage restriction of a person voluntarily participating in a proposed scientific study is higher than 10 msv, the dose restriction shall be coordinated with the Health Board. (7) A holder of the licence for radiation activity for radiation activity shall collect the following information about procedures: 1) The number of procedures performed during a year in accordance with the list of procedures set out in Annex 1 (procedure, projection / methodology); 2) The average patient dosages for a patient of a standard size broken down to standard procedures and medical radiation devices provided for in Annex Requirements for referrals to medical radiology procedures (1) A patient is referred to a medical radiology procedure by a physician or dentist or any other health professional under the guidance and responsibility of a physician or dentist. (2) The person referring a patient to a medical radiology procedure shall ensure the justifiability of the procedure, taking into account the available health data of the patient and previous procedures for the purposes of ensuring compliance with the requirements of 3 (1). (3) Special attention to the justifiability of a medical radiology procedure shall be paid while planning of procedure for a child or adolescent under 15 years of age, a pregnant or breastfeeding woman, including evaluation of the need for immediate performance of the procedure. Women of childbearing age shall be asked about potential pregnancy and duration of the pregnancy when planning a procedure. (4) The person referring a patient to a medical radiology procedure shall ensure that the patient is informed about the need for the procedure and about the risk of radiation damage and about the preparation of the patient for the procedure for the purposes of ensuring the effectiveness of the procedure and compliance with the requirements of 3 (1) of the regulation. (5) The person referring a patient to a diagnostic medical radiology procedure shall describe the health problem of the patient in the referral note, formulate the clinical question for which an answer is sought, and reflect the results of earlier studies that are important in terms of the problem being solved. If necessary, the person referring a patient to a procedure shall include in the referral note necessary information on the patient, such as any medical devices implanted in the body, information about drug allergies, intercurrent diseases or therapy, and the like. (6) In planning a diagnostic medical radiology procedure, it shall be proceeded from the radiation protection guidelines of the European Commission and the good radiology practices regarding referrals to medical radiology procedures. The Health Board shall publish the guidelines on its website. 5. Requirements for medical radiology procedures (1) A medical radiology procedure shall be performed by a radiologist or another physician properly trained to evaluate the justifiability of and perform the procedure, or a radiology technician or another radiation staff under the guidance of a radiologist or a physician who has been trained to perform the relevant procedure. (2) The person performing a medical radiology procedure shall ensure the justifiability and optimisation of the procedure, taking into account the health data of the patient and earlier procedures that are critical in terms of the selection of the procedure and methodology available to the person in order to avoid unjustified use of medical radiation and to ensure the lowest reasonably possible radiation dosage. (3) The person performing a diagnostic medical radiology procedure may modify the procedure specified in the referral note, if the same result is achievable by another procedure which, in terms of the radiation burden or health of the patient, is more purposeful, or abandon the procedure, notifying the person who referred the patient to the procedure about it.
