1. The Bulletin of the World Health Organization Vol 90, Number 8, August 2012, page 560 http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/90/8/12-010812/en/index.html reported the Top 10 Health Technology Hazards as ranked by the Emergency Care Research Institute (ECRI Institute). Alarm hazards including alarm fatigue – health-care workers becoming overwhelmed by the sheer number of alarms on medical devices – is top of the list.
Medical use of ionizing radiation is included in 3 of the 10 technologies considered:
Non-ionizing radiation exposure is involved in one of the 10 health technologies considered in the Top Ten (Ultrahigh-field-strength MRI systems).
For your information, in 2011 radiation overdose in radiotherapy was categorized by ECRI Institute as number 1 among the Top 10 Health Technology Hazards.
If you wish to look at the full report “ECRI Institute's Top 10 C-Suite Watch List: Hospital Technology Issues for 2012”, it can be downloaded by clicking on the registration hyperlink https://www.ecri.org/Forms/Pages/2012_C-Suite_Watch_List.aspx and filling up a simple form.
2. Please find below the latest RPOP information from the IAEA website.
It is excellent to note that the ISRRT has been listed, alongside important international organisations, as one of those who have taken part in the production of the “Joint Position Statement on the IAEA Patient Radiation Exposure Tracking”.
The ISRRT have continued to work on an international level with the IAEA and thanks to the work done by the Board and the Regional Officers this work is recognised and appreciated by the IAEA.

Medical use of ionizing radiation is included in 3 of the 10 technologies considered:
- Digital breast tomosynthesis (“is leapfrogging from film to 3-D breast tomosynthesis the right decision?”)
- New CT radiation reduction technologies (“Are you doing enough to slice the dose and the risk?)
- Proton beam radiation therapy (“Should it be part of your strategic plan or will carbon ions supplant protons?”)
