UBEDA DE LA C, Carlos et al. QUALITY ASSURANCE AND RADIATION PROTECTION IN MEDICAL EXPOSURES IN EUROPE: A ROLE MODEL. Rev. chil. radiol. [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.4, pp.208-212. ISSN 0717-9308.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-93082007000400006.

Medical exposures constitute the major source of ionizing radiation to which the world population is exposed to. Due to this fact, the European Community has implemented a number of agreements aimed at regulating these activities. For its part, Spain - through a series of Royal Ordinances - has developed a legal framework to broadly address not only Radiation Protection but medical exposure quality criteria as well. These regulations may be used as reference criteria to addressing same issues in our country
