Course Description
The increasing use of complex and involved interventional and diagnostic imaging procedures renews concern for both patient and staff radiation dose and radiation safety principles and procedures. Of special interest are fluoroscopy procedures in which the use of a continuous x-ray beam increases patient and staff radiation dose. For this reason, radiation safety principles and operator knowledge are essential in keeping radiation dose as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) for both patients and fluoroscopy staff while still producing a diagnostic quality image so as to not deliver unnecessary radiation. This course reviews dose management goals, technical factors of digital fluoroscopy and how they influence radiation dose, dose reduction principles, safe and proper use of digital fluoroscopy equipment, and the concepts of justification and optimization in regards to radiation safety. Cardinal principles to reduce radiation dose are also discussed.
This course is based on a printed and bound reference created by Jeana Fleitz, M.Ed., RT(R)(M). This course has a corresponding posttest containing 32 multiple choice and true/false questions.
