Final report of the MARLIN study
Publication metadata
The 24-month MARLIN study supported the implementation of Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom by comprehensively describing the current status of incident reporting. The use of ionising radiation in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases must be carefully monitored, and measures must be taken to minimise both the frequency and harm caused by accidental or unintended exposures to patients as mandated by the relevant articles of the Directive. The use of incident learning systems, anonymous notification systems where incidents and near misses can be investigated and possible flaws in a process can be identified and rectified, was studied with regard to compliance with European legislation and other regulatory requirements and their role in improving patient safety.
