Joint Commission issues alert on medical radiation.

The U.S. Joint Commission recently issued an alert on the dangers of medical radiation. With this announcement imaging facilities will need to pay more attention to formalizing their procedures in an effort to protect patients from unnecessary radiation exposure.

The Society for Pediatric Radiology has a long-standing history of advocating responsible and safe imaging of children, adhering to the principles of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) for radiation exposure during any imaging examination. The SPR is centrally involved in scientific and educational programs to promote improved safety and reduced radiation exposure for children undergoing CT scans. This program is a forum for discussion and sharing of knowledge for reducing radiation dose to children undergoing diagnostic medical imaging procedures, especially CT scans. This activity is now available on DVD and MP4 formats to fit your schedule and preparation preference.

Appropriate use of conventional imaging modalities such as plain film radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and angiography are discussed. When appropriate, they emphasize newer important imaging modalities including PET/CT, diffusion weighted MR, cardiac CT, and virtual colonoscopy.

This activity is now available on DVD and MP4 formats to fit your schedule and preparation preference.

UCSF's Imaging Advances: Abdominal, Thoracic, Skeletal program is targeted to the radiologist in clinical practice, but will also be of value to those physicians and medical professionals who wish to enhance their knowledge on a variety of current imaging methods. This activity is available on DVD and MP4 formats to fit your schedule and preparation preference.

The Society for Pediatric Radiology's Pediatric Radiology – Clinical and Radiology Perspectives program is targeted to the pediatric and general radiologist in clinical practice who wish to enhance their knowledge in pediatric radiology as it relates to everyday practice. This activity is available on DVD and MP4 formats to fit your schedule and preparation preference.

The Society of Thoracic Radiology’s conference entitled Thoracic Imaging is available on DVD and MP4 formats to fit your schedule and preparation preference. Specific cases confronted in practice presents a clearer picture of technology expectations and best practices for thoracic imaging. What’s more, it includes a detailed syllabus on CD-ROM that features enlargeable full-color images of each slide from several presentations.

ONE OF A KIND, COMPREHENSIVE BUSINESS OF RADIOLOGY COURSE

The Business of Radiology program will develop and disseminate educational content that is relevant and meaningful to clinical practice through activities designed to enhance physicians’ knowledge, competence, and performance for improved patient care.  This activity will enhance physician’s knowledge and skills such that they can provide radiology services to patients in a more efficient, cost-effective, profitable manner. They will be able to supply care to more patients at higher quality through implementation of suggestions made in this course.
