In the high-stakes world of nuclear security and radiological emergency response, realistic, large-scale training exercises are the backbone of preparedness. The MIRD (pronounced "Mired") series—often expanding to Mu-IDRL (Multi-Incident Radiological Dispatch & Response Logistics)—represents a cutting-edge evolution in how first responders, military units, and civil support teams train for radiological incidents.
The Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (MIRT) committee, through its various pamphlets and publications, provides critical guidance on the safe and effective use of radiopharmaceuticals in both diagnostic and therapeutic settings. These publications serve as a cornerstone for education and practice guidelines for professionals in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. MIRD-226
