Management of patient and staff radiation doses in fluoroscopy is of increasing concern to accrediting organizations, regulatory agencies, insurers, and hospital systems.

The incidence of lens opacities after several years of working in a cath lab can be up to 40-50% and unintended use of extreme doses to patients can cause life-changing injuries. Learning proper radiation reduction techniques is therefore critical for all interventional procedures.

  • Practice and apply radiation management concepts in a risk-free simulation environment
  • Award winning courses with proven, published benefits for both patients & staff
  • Work at your own pace from any computer, phone, or tablet with Internet access
  • Up to 10.5 Category 1 CME credits
  • Self-assessment CME (SA-CME) credit for Maintenance of Certification
