The NEXT 2005 Protocol for the Survey of Computed Tomography has been published as an official CRCPD publication (CRCPD Publication E-08-2). This document contains the survey procedures developed to collect information for a population-representative reference database documenting general CT practice and indicators of patient dose, and characterizing the impact of new technologies and clinical applications. The NEXT CT body phantom must be used with this survey protocol in order to compare acquired CT radiation data with existing NEXT survey results. For the document, Acrobat 7.0 or higher is required. Also available as part of this document: CT Facility Questionnaire.xls and CT Survey Form.xls. [7/23/08] |

The awards program has been further expanded, to include the Radon Hero Award. The CRCPD recognizes that exposure to indoor radon is a significant contributor to total radiation exposure received by the public and is the second leading cause of lung cancer. This award, entitled Radon Hero, is to recognize an individual who has demonstrated leadership in reducing the health effects of radon exposure. The award will be given based on the individual’s contribution to this effort, on their breadth and scope of services, and commitment to sustained radon risk reduction. [Posted 2/1/08] |

The Board has created a new award: the Public Servant Award. The award is to recognize a federal, state or local government official (other than a state or local radiation control program director) who has made significant contributions in support of state radiation control programs and/or the public in achieving a better understanding of, and protection from, radiation exposure. The award also is given in memory of those public servants who contributed in an outstanding way to the support of state radiation control programs and the protection of people and their environment.
