Learner Objectives
Upon completion of this module, learner will be able to: 
  • Recognize the NRC requirements for radiation safety
  • Describe how to maintain radiation measuring equipment 
  • Review radiation exposure levels for patients and occupational workers
  • Discuss radiation emergency scenarios and appropriate response
Overall Goal
The overall goal of this activity is to provide a comprehensive review of radiation safety to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure to patients.
Statement of Need
Radiation exposure for patients and imaging professionals is a prominent safety issue of national concern. Most American laboratories are doing MPI imaging studies in ways that expose patients to substantial radiation. Only about 14% of US facilities met the quality benchmark of exposing patients to a median of no more than 9 mSv for the procedure as recommended by clinical guidelines compared to 32.6% of facilities in other countries.
