Radiation protection in paediatric imaging (interventional)

The programme of this webinar will cover dose reduction strategies in paediatric fluoroscopy guided interventional (FGI) procedures, dose management in paediatric FGI, Benefit-Risk communication strategies in paediatric FGI.  It is aimed at radiologists, radiographers, and medical physicists who want to improve their skills in:

• Radiation protection and optimisation in paediatric interventional procedures
• Communicating risk effectively to patients
  
  

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 consider dose management in FGI including both stochastic and tissue reactions with associated trigger levels
• To review optimal strategies for patient dose optimisation
• To understand evidence-based risk communication strategies for informing patients of radiation risks
