CME Symposium On “Radiation And Medical Imaging: Hazards To Healthcare Workers”
Ionizing radiation has been in diagnostic and therapeutic arena for more than 100 years with an exponential rise in its application in the last 3 decades. We are also cognizant of hazards associated with ionizing radiation to patients and radiation workers. Exposure to patients could be minimized by strategy of justification and optimization while workers can minimize the exposure by practicing fundamental principles of radiation protection. The purpose of this symposium is to bring together representatives from the various clinical domains and Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority ( PNRA ) to disseminate the knowledge about hazards and ways of safe handling of radiation by healthcare providers.
