The European Council Directive 97/43/Euratom requires Member States “to ensure that recommendations concerning referral criteria for medical exposures, including radiation doses, are available to the prescriber of medical exposures” (Article 6.2 of Council Directive 97/43/EURATOM (Medical Exposu...
The 2010 Scientific Seminar discussed issues with internal emitters. Five internationally renowned scientists working in the field of internal emitters presented current knowledge. The speakers offered information on dosimetry, uncertainties, and risk estimates in the context of internal emitter...
Due to increased concern over terrorist attacks on aircraft, new technologies have been developed to improve the efficiency of security screening of passengers. Some of these technologies use ionising radiation (X-rays). As the hazards related to ionising radiation include the well-known carcino...
The European Commission organises every year, in cooperation with the Group of Experts referred to in Article 31 of the Euratom Treaty, a Scientific Seminar on emerging issues in radiation protection – generally addressing new research findings with potential policy and/or regulatory implication...
Radiology is essential to dentists for determining the presence and extent of disease in patients for whom a thorough patient history and examination has been performed. It also has roles in treatment planning, monitoring disease progression and in assessing treatment efficacy. However, an integ...
The basic objective of this project is to improve the process control and product quality of coil-coated products, by means of development of fast, reproducible and robust methods of coating characterisation based on fast chemical and depth profiling analysis. Of primary interest are multi-coati...
The LA-ICP-MS technique has been evaluated with respect to applications relevant for the steel industry, with special emphasis on spatially resolved analysis. Three different commercially available laser ablation units have been used, CETAC LSX 100, CETAC LSX 200 and new wave research UP 213. Th...
Laser-induced breakdown specrometry (LIBS) and laser ablation sampling with both mass spectrometry and optical emission detection have been used to study the interaction of high-powered pulsed lasers with metal and slag samples. This has involved a variety of laser wavelengths and operating para...
The aim of this project is to develop and to test on- line a prototype of a new optical thickness gauge able to measure the thickness of a plate from 100 to 500 rnm with a global uncertainty of+/-0.l mm. Triangulation sensors have a limited range of measurement. Only the area where the product p...
