Duke Medical Physics was selected by the United Nations to host an IAEA advanced training on imaging safety in medicine. The course, taking place Oct 17-21 on the Duke campus, brings radiological professionals from around the world together to share experience and strategy on radiation protection, informed by our own processes in place at Duke. The program includes didactic lectures covering topics of imaging safety and quality, clinical practice rounds with focus on appropriateness, safety culture, and workflow, and safety-relevant demonstrations of the interplay of dose, image quality, and patient size in the context of CT, fluoroscopy, and radiography.
