How Aurora West Allis Medical Center reduced medical radiation risks with RTSD

Minimally invasive image-guided diagnosis and treatment of disease has revolutionized healthcare and continues to grow rapidly. For good reason, as interventional X-ray and related techniques have brought about safer and more effective treatments for a number of diseases, compared to what was available just a few decades ago.

Real-time Dosimetry Works

As touched upon in the previous post, interventional X-ray professionals have a number of tools and techniques at their disposal, which they can use to minimize their radiation dose. 

Will The Joint Commission regulation changes make X-ray QA more time-consuming?

Annual equipment checks to ensure fluoroscopy X-ray units are working correctly is one of the revisions by The Joint Commission elements of performance (Eps). Hospitals providing fluoroscopy services will need to adhere to this new, revised standard as of January 1, 2019.

ALARA - Keeping Radiation Exposure to a Minimum

When working with ionizing radiation or radioactive materials, it is a federal regulatory requirement that all reasonable efforts be made to maintain exposure to ionizing radiation as far below the dose limits as practical.  ALARA translates as "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" and not only needs to be an integral part of all tasks that involve the use of radiation or radioactive materials but also used as the guiding principle to stay consistent with the purpose for which the activity is undertaken.
