Thank you Assoc Prof Samuel Brady, MS PhD, DABR for an excellent talk on how to establish DRLs and use a dose monitoring software to help this process, failing which a manual system is also do-able. The clear step by step information made it look "almost" simple.
Points highlighted include:
1. starting with 20 centres
2. scaling up eventually to 30-50% of facilities in a country
3. ensure all kinds of facilities are included.
4. QC for the various equipment before collecting data (Learning from the Senegal experience) so that good quality data are collected, otherwise, the doses will not be accurately reflected.
5. A consensus to establish standardized protocol names are needed so that national data can be aggregated.
6. Once DRLs are established, they need periodic updating.
7. Such cyclic data driven improvement results in significant dose reduction as demonstrated in the UK.
