The Fundamentals of Radiation Safety - A Video CME Teaching Activity

This CME activity is a review of the latest and best practices in fluoroscopic safety. Faculty discuss radiation physics, radiation biology, radiation protection, detectors, intensifiers and quality control protocols. In addition, faculty share valuable information regarding radiation risks, protection, appropriate use criteria and modern radiation safety recommendations and guidelines.

This activity is designed for board certified radiologists and for any physician who uses fluoroscopy as part of their private or academic practice. This activity is also appropriate for trainees as various levels in diagnostic imaging and other specialties desiring insight into fluoroscopic safety.
