ASRT Offers Fluoroscopy Safety Series

Fluoroscopy delivers the highest occupational medical radiation dose in the diagnostic imaging profession. Therefore, it is crucial for radiologic technologists to continue to protect themselves and their patients during fluoroscopy procedures. To address this, ASRT has developed a six-part fluoroscopy safety series that provides up-to-date information on fluoroscopy and radiation safety.

The series provides veteran radiologic technologists and newcomers to the profession with the tools to improve their fluoroscopy knowledge, expand their technical skills, achieve educational requirements and limit radiation risks to patients and themselves. The course content is delivered in a text-based, downloadable format, convenient for individuals interested in learning at their own pace.

The comprehensive series features six courses: Radiation Protection of the Eye, Image Quality and Analysis, Operation and Safety of Fixed Units, Radiation Protection and Safety, Regulation and Radiation Protection, and Mobile Unit Operation and Safety.
