Introduction to Radiation Protection in Interventional Radiology

COURSE INFORMATION

The programme of this webinar will cover dose descriptors, dose reporting, dose reduction tools and optimisation principles in FGI. The webinar includes presentations from medical experts (one presentation will be delivered by a radiologist, one by a radiographer and one by a medical physicist), online assessments, and a live Q&A discussion (based on audience questions). It is aimed at radiologists, radiographers, and medical physicists who want to improve their skills in: 

• Radiation protection and optimisation in interventional radiology 
• Understanding the use of dose descriptors in fluoroscopically guided interventional procedures 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After watching the webinar, participants will be able to: 

• To understand the importance of radiation protection and optimisation in IR 
• To review IR dose descriptors and their use in FGI dose reporting 
• To understand current IR technology tools for optimisation patient dose
