Virtual CE Course – NCRP Commentary 33 – Recommendations for Stratification of Equipment Use and Radiation Safety Training

Presented by Thomas L Morgan, PhD, CHP, FHPS

This commentary defines an evidence-based, radiation-related classification for fluoroscopically guided procedures (FGP), based on patient radiation risk. It provides radiation-related recommendations for the types of fluoroscopes suitable for each class of procedure.

It also recommends the extent and content of training that should be provided to different categories of staff who might enter a room where fluoroscopy is or may be performed.

This presentation will present and discuss these recommendations in detail and provide an opportunity for group discussions about how they might be implemented.
