Résumé
Because ionizing radiation is widely used in medical imaging and in military, industry, and commercial applications, programmatic management and advancement in knowledge is needed, especially related to the health effects of low-dose radiation. The U.S. Congress in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy called on the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) to develop a long-term strategic and prioritized agenda for low-dose radiation research. Low doses were defined as dose amounts less than 100 mGy or low-dose rates less than 5 mGy per hour. The 2022 NASEM report was divided into sections detailing the low-dose radiation exposure and health effects, scientific basis for radiation protection, status of low-dose radiation research, a prioritized radiation research agenda, and essential components of a low-dose radiation research program, including resources needed and recommendations for financial recourse. The purpose of this review is to summarize this report and examine the recommendations to assess how these pertain to the practice of radiology and medicine.
