The Mentice Radiation Safety plug-in is designed for physicians, nurses, and technicians who use interventional fluoroscopy equipment.

Learning proper radiation reduction techniques is critical for all interventional procedures.

Radiation carries with it serious risks both to the medical team and the patient. The incidence of lens opacities after several years of work in a cath lab can be up to 40-50%, and unintended use of extreme doses to patients can cause life-changing injuries.
