Description

This course provides a comprehensive review of interventional fluoroscopy for imaging technologists. It explores common hospital applications, including angioplasty, stent placement, biopsies, injections, and surgical procedures. The readings cover patient communication and relevant anatomy, with a strong emphasis on radiation safety, dose management, and current research in dose reduction.
