EuroSafe Imaging: Radiation protection into clinical perspectives

Radiation protection in interventional neuroradiology (part 2)

November 14, 2023 | 18:00 CET

REGISTER NOW

The programme of this webinar will cover managing occupational exposure in interventional neuroradiology; radiation effects on patients and staff in fluoroscopy guided interventional procedures (FGI); and typical values in FGI, trigger levels, follow-up and reporting events.  It is aimed at radiologists, radiographers, and medical physicists who want to improve their skills in:

  • Radiation protection and optimisation in interventional neuroradiology
  • Understanding trigger levels and how to implement a follow up and notification process

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), live online assessments, and a live Q&A discussion (based on audience questions).

Learning objectives

After watching the webinar, participants will be able to:

  • To understand the level of occupational exposure in interventional radiology and how to develop strategies to decrease it
  • To be aware of the effects of ionising radiation in patients and staff
  • To learn about the concept of trigger levels and how to implement a follow up and notification process
