Art. 31 Procedures for non-medical imaging purposes
1 Activities involving exposure for non-medical imaging purposes must be justified in advance, taking into account the specific objectives of the procedure and the characteristics of the individual involved. 2 Exposures in the medium-dose or high-dose range for aptitude tests are prohibited. 3 If an exposure is ordered by the criminal investigation, security or customs authorities, the imaging procedure must be performed using the lowest possible dose required to resolve the question. If an exposure cannot be performed in the low-dose range, this must be documented, with the reasons stated. 4 If exposures are routinely performed for security reasons, the individual examined must be given the option of choosing a different type of examination not involving ionising radiation. |
