Description

In Germany, each site using ionising radiation in human medicine is assigned to a competent medical authority (CMA) for quality assurance. Duties of these CMAs are, e.g. the inspection of medical aspects of the use of X-rays and nuclear medicine at the sites as well as technical quality assurance of X-ray devices. The CMAs themselves have to report the collected exposure values to the ministries and the Federal Office for Radiation Protection. The IVEU (IT-gestütztes Verfahren zur Erfassung von Untersuchungsparametern) Software Framework assists CMAs and radiological departments in collecting and analysing data provided in DICOM headers.
