Program Overview
What are the fluoroscopy dose levels in cardiac catheterisation, and how are they managed? This program is specifically designed for cardiology professionals performing cardiac diagnostic and interventional procedures under fluoroscopy guidance. It focuses on cardiac-specific optimization techniques, equipment settings, and procedural practices to enhance patient and staff safety while maintaining procedural effectiveness. (Note: For general interventional radiology safety, refer to the dedicated Interventional Radiology Safety course.)
A specialised radiation protection training programme
