The Xunta’s health department participates through the Galician Health Service, the Galician Agency for Health Knowledge and public company Galaria. The project runs from October 2026 to September 2031 and is coordinated by Finland’s Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority. Its work includes clinical audits, justification of procedures, incident learning, dose management, image quality, paediatric and pregnancy imaging protection, image-guided radiotherapy and radiopharmaceutical therapy. The Xunta says its three participating bodies contribute to several work packages. ## Data ### AURORad: scale and funding Consortium and project-budget figures stated in the Xunta announcement.
