Radiation protection of pregnant patients

The programme of this webinar will cover dose to the foetus from radiography, CT and fluoroscopy guided interventional procedures (FGI); dose reduction strategies in imaging of pregnant patients, Benefit-Risk communication strategies in imaging of pregnant patients. It is aimed at radiologists, radiographers, and medical physicists who want to improve their skills in:

• Radiation protection and optimisation in imaging of pregnant patients
• Understanding evidence-based risk communication strategies for informing patients of radiation risks
  
  

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 learn about dose to foetus levels in diagnostic imaging
• To review optimal strategies for patient dose reduction in diagnostic imaging
• To understand evidence-based risk communication strategies for informing patients of radiation risks
