The committee's topics are:

1. Implementation of radiation protection principles, especially the optimisation of ionising radiation exposure during medical applications
2. Evaluation of diagnostic radiation exposure in medicine (benefit – risk, dose reduction)
3. Evaluation of novel radiotherapeutic applications
4. Radiation protection when applying radioactive substances and ionising radiation in medical research
5. Training of physicians, medical physics experts and other medical personnel involved in medical applications of ionising radiation.
6. Compiling and updating of recommendations for medical imaging procedures
7. Statements and recommendations on the national implementation of international directives and recommendations (e. g. EURATOM directives, ICRP recommendations)
8. Statements on decisions proposed by the German Federal Joint Committee (G-BA), if they pertain to methods applying radioactive substances or ionising radiation to humans.
9. Quality control in medical applications of ionising radiation (in collaboration with the Committee on Radiological Protection Technology)
