Veterinary medicine
Radiation can be used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in veterinary medicine, involving both ionising and non-ionising radiation.
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority issues requirements for those conducting veterinary activities involving ionising radiation. Certain basic diagnostic procedures for small animals, such as standard X-ray examinations, are subject to a notification obligation. More advanced diagnostics – such as CT, fluoroscopy and mobile imaging services – require a licence from the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority.
