Part 3. Principles. International framework Radiation protection in nuclear medicine This is a very important slide as it summarizes the aim of the material: If optimization is doing the best one can under prevailing conditions, it is essential to know the conditions very well. The knowledge of these conditions (and constraints) also helps to avoid controversy.
Part 3. Principles. International framework Radiation protection in nuclear medicine The concept of ‘safety culture’ is very important - the lecturer should take some time to ‘walk’ the participants through this slide.
Part 3. Principles. International framework Radiation protection in nuclear medicine The insert illustrates the importance of training which is the first on the list.
Part 3. Principles. International framework Radiation protection in nuclear medicine The lecturer can point out that qualification in this case is certified typically by a professional organisation. Credentials should be verified.

Part 3. Principles. International framework Radiation protection in nuclear medicine The picture shows the verification of the alignment of a beam stopper in external beam radiotherapy
Part 3. Principles. International framework Radiation protection in nuclear medicine The insert shows one of the first diagnostic X-rays ever taken. Father Slattery exposed the hand of a boy who was accidentally shot by a shot gun in 1896 in Australia. This resulted in taking the gun shot out instead of amputating the hand as it would have been likely otherwise. The bright spots are the gun shot in the picture.
