Outline of Final Research Achievements

After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident, there was a nationwide increase in the number of patients concerned about radiological examinations following the accident. Radiation education for medical personnel is urgent business.This research was conducted with the objective of sharing and standardizing basic knowledge about medical radiation exposure for medical professionals.
A smartphone compatible educational material was created. Knowledge could be acquired naturally by checking this material freely in one's spare time. The four general items are as follows:1. Managing the medical safety for medical personnel during radiation procedures.2. Patient exposure during radiological procedures.3. Effects of radiation on the body.4. Responding to a nuclear power accident disaster.A portal website for posting the fruits of this efforts is available (https://radiation-protection.jp). The site was created in both Japanese and English.
