European Guidelines on Diagnostic Reference Levels for Paediatric Imaging

Despite a large number of studies available from European countries, European DRLs for paediatric patients were only available for some common radiological examinations. There was a need to consolidate what is available and to provide guidance on what actions are needed for using DRLs to further enhance the radiation protection of children. The European Commission recognised this need and approved the 27-month tender project PiDRL on the establishment of European DRLs for paediatric patients in December 2013.
