    Abstract

    A joint workshop was initiated by EURADOS based on the work programme of the working group 'Radiation protection dosimetry of medical staff'. The workshop was held within the framework of the regular EURADOS Annual Meeting series, of which the 2008 event was held in Paris (AM2008). The topic 'Dosimetric Issues in the Medical Use of Ionising Radiation' is very broad, and is covered by the different European projects of FP6 and FP7. This topic is also a major part of the current activities of the French Society of Medical Physic (SFPM). By promoting this joint initiative, AM2008 was an opportunity for the wider scientific community with interests in this area to meet and follow the progress in the different fields. This report introduces the themes addressed during the workshop, from which most of the papers presented in this volume are included.
