Whether you are a registered technologist needing a refresher or a non-technologist in a healthcare facility, you will enjoy this basic radiation safety video course that was recorded from a “live” class.  You will cover the topics needed for basic radiation safety, the role of the radiation safety program and the effects of ionizing radiation. Also covered will be radiation detection and personal protection methods related to ionizing radiation.  This course is designed to meet the four hours of radiation safety needed by non-technologists performing bone densitometry in the State of Texas, but is equally beneficial to the radiologic technologist wanting a refresher course in radiation safety.
