Alaska Fluoroscopy Regulations for Radiation Control
Our Fluoroscopy CME courses for satisfying Alaska fluoroscopy regulations work!
A study published in Academic Radiology showed that patient dose decreased after radiology residents took our Advanced Training Program. More details are available here.
