“…Application of the System in medicine was specifically addressed in several presentations. These stressed, for example, the need for improvements in education and training of medical staff (Nadareishvili, 2021), the importance of establishing national diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for computed tomography (CT) scans (Bernardo, 2021), specific aspects of risk perception in the medical field and the use of effective dose (Moores, 2021), the continued rapid advances in medical technologies (García-Fernández, 2021) and in the recurrent use of CT imaging (Vassileva, 2021). Important for radiological protection (RP) in medicine is also a strict quality dose management programme (Cruz, 2021).…”

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has embarked on a process to review and revise the current System of Radiological Protection (‘the System’). To stimulate discussion, ICRP published two open-access articles: one on aspects of the System that might require review, and another on research which might improve the scientific foundation of the System. Building on these articles, ICRP organised the Workshop on the Future of Radiological Protection as an opportunity to engage in the review and revision of the System. This digital workshop took place from 14 October to 3 November 2021 and included 20 live-streamed and 43 on-demand presentations. Approximately 1500 individuals from 100 countries participated. Based on the subjects covered by the presentations, this summary is organised into four broad areas: the scientific basis, concepts, and application of the System; and the role of ICRP. Some of the key topics that emerged included: classification of radiation-induced effects; adverse outcome pathway methodologies; better understanding of the dose–response relationship; holistic and reasonable approaches to optimisation of protection; radiological protection of the environment; the ethical basis of the System; clarity, consistency, and communication about the System; application of the System in medicine; and application of the principles of justification and optimisation of protection.
