prevention measures with all their service providers through a prevention plan varies between 17 and 28% for the 2019‑2024 period. In 2024, only 22% of the inspected centres had formalised these measures. Yet knowledge of the risks linked to ionising radiation and of the appropriate prevention measures for the situations encountered, particularly by private practitioners, is a prerequisite for ensuring their radiation protection and that of other professionals. In 71% of the operating theatres inspected in 2024, the medical personnel have dosimetric monitoring devices available in sufficient quantity and appropriate for their types of exposure. This situation has regressed since 2023, where 90% of the inspected centres provided appropriate dosimetry equipment. ASN also observes that the analysis of the dosimetric results by the RPE-Os has slightly improved over the last five years, enabling the bad practices to be identified and corrected; the situation is better in the interventional imaging departments than in operating theatres, with 75% of the departments having analysed the dosimetric results in 2024 compared with 71% in 2019, while the figures for the operating theatres stand at 70% in 2024 and 60% in 2019. Lastly, the inspections of private practitioners revealed non-conformities concerning training, dosimetric monitoring and the assessment of occupational risks for these professionals and their employees. They provided the opportunity to remind the private practitioners of employers’ obligations to prevent both their own and their employees’ occupational risks linked to exposure to ionising radiation.
