[Trends in activities of ICRP].
International Commission for Radiological Protection (ICRP) consists of main commission (MC) and 4 committees. Committee 3 (C3) deals with radiological protection in medicine, which is chaired by Prof. Fred Mettler. The C3 has been actively producing reports and recommendations applying ICRP recommendation 1990 (Pub.90) to daily practices of radiology. Those publications include "pregnancy and medical radiation", "avoidance of radiation injuries in IVR", etc.. The main commission has been dealing with two important subjects. The one is "new recommendation at the start of the 21st century" the other is "protection of environments and ecology". Two task groups are preparing drafts recommendations for those subjects, which will be discussed in MC to be held in October 2002.
