Non-medical human imaging is the use of radiation to screen people for purposes other than medical diagnosis, medical treatment or biomedical research. Inspection devices are used to screen cargos, vehicles or parcels to detected concealed objects.

Growing security concerns globally have seen an increase in non-medical human imaging — such as screening of people to detect concealed objects, for instance prior to boarding an aircraft or when visiting a prison, or to determine the presence of drugs in the bodies of suspected drug couriers.

Ensuring the safety of non-medical human imaging and inspection devices is the focus of the recently issued IAEA Safety Guide on this subject. Olga German, an IAEA expert, will introduce you to the safety requirements that apply to these areas.

Experts from Australia and Belgium will explain main feature of different technologies used for the purpose and share their experiences of implementing safety requirements in their respective countries when dealing with inspection devices and non-medical human imaging.

During the webinar, participants will:

• Learn about relevant safety requirements and principles.
• Gain a better understanding  about technologies utilized and their features.
• Learn about national experiences in applying safety requirements when dealing with inspection devices and non-medical human imaging.

The event is held by IAEA. To participate, please register on IAEA webpage.
