Fluoroscopy: Operation and Safety of Fixed Fluoroscopy Units
VLM1502
Course Type: Online Course
Cost: $16.50
Course Length: 1 Hr 30 Mins
Credits: 1.5
Credit Type: CE
Advances in technology and clinical treatment methods have led to a rise in fluoroscopy use. Coinciding with this trend is an increase in reported radiation-induced injuries from fluoroscopy. Operators of fluoroscopy units, including radiologic technologists, radiologist assistants, radiologists and other physicians, must have a thorough understanding of how imaging chain components and radiation safety features optimize diagnostic imaging quality and keep radiation exposure to as low as reasonably achievable. This knowledge is especially important as new equipment features become available. In addition to describing various fluoroscopic equipment configurations, Anne Scott, B.S.R.S., R.T.(R), discusses specific elements of fixed fluoroscopy units that affect radiation dose and methods to protect patients and imaging personnel. Approved for 1.5 Category A+ CE credit by the ASRT.

Fluoroscopy: Image Quality and Analysis
VLM1500
Course Type: Online Course
Cost: $16.50
Course Length: 1 Hr 30 Mins
Credits: 1.5
Credit Type: CE
The ultimate goal of medical imaging professionals is to produce the best possible images for interpretation. When images don't meet institutional quality standards, fluoroscopy operators must be able to identify the sources of errors and take corrective action to prevent unnecessary repeat exposures. Anne Scott, B.S.R.S., R.T.(R), discusses various factors that affect fluoroscopy image quality including patient positioning, correct technique selection and proper use of equipment. This essential article covers all aspects of image analysis, from evaluating positioning to assessing technical accuracy. Approved for 1.5 Category A+ CE credit by the ASRT.
