7 Secrets of Radiation Safety As a Medical Physicist, my job involves more than just reducing #radiation exposure. Here’s my approach at workplace: ✔ Minimize time near radioactive sources. ✔ Maximize distance from radiation sources. ✔ Use effective shielding ✔ Implement quality assurance programs. ✔ Collaborate with oncologists and technologists. ✔ Benchmark dose levels and image quality. ✔ Regularly evaluate and optimize processes. It's a continuous cycle of assessment and improvement. As a #medical #physicist , I uphold these principles. Are you ensuring #radiationsafety ? Let’s discuss more in the comments!

🔴 There is no doubt that recruitment, especially within the Radiography sector, is much tougher this year than previously.  There aren’t as many locum roles on offer and lots of changes within the market has meant opportunities aren’t as readily available. ❓ What’s your take on this – as a Radiographer, are you struggling to find locum work? #recruitment #radiography

https://lnkd.in/gD3HZFKt Every 10 years, the OMB reclassifies jobs. Currently, ARRT-certified technologists—with the exception of radiation therapists—are classified as technical personnel. We believe all R.T.s should be classified as professional health care personnel. The role of radiologic technologists in modern health care continues to evolve as the demand for improved imaging technology accelerates. For this reason, ARRT strongly supports updating the OMB’s designation to more accurately reflect the professional responsibilities of our occupation.Now, with your help, we can advocate for our classification to be changed to professional, but we need to act fast. The OMB is soliciting public comment through the end of the day Monday, Aug. 12.  Submit a comment to the OMB on ASRT’s Advocacy Action Center—it only takes a minute! Every voice matters and YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A R.T. TO PARTICIPATE. #technologistNOTtechnician #xray #CT #MRI #mammography #sonography #nuclearmedicine #bonedensity #radiationsafety #radiology #imagingservices #radiologist #technologist 

Did you know? Due to the cumulative impact of #radiationexposure during their career, #HCPs are 6 times more likely to develop cataracts. Our technology platforms at #MBOT aim to reduce this number by developing remote-operated #surgicaltechnology. https://bit.ly/3yshf3N

💼 The Challenges of Being a Radiographer in the UK: How to Overcome Them💼 The increasing demand for radiography services is one of the biggest challenges faced by radiographers in the UK. This can lead to high workloads, long hours, and stress, impacting the quality of care provided to patients. Communication and language barriers can also pose a challenge for radiographers working with patients from diverse backgrounds. To overcome these challenges, radiographers need to be culturally sensitive, empathetic, and possess effective communication skills. Radiographers can overcome these challenges by prioritizing self-care, managing stress, and seeking support when necessary. Developing strong communication and interpersonal skills can help them overcome language and cultural barriers. Our team of recruitment experts understands the challenges you face and is here to help you stand out from the crowd. We're offering a time-limited service where we'll revamp your CV and craft supporting information that will make you shine in any UK radiography job application. Act fast! This service won't be available for long. Use the code 'XRAY' for an incredible 50% off the service cost. If you've been struggling to land a job, this is your opportunity to have your CV and supporting information professionally rewritten by experts who understand the industry.

#ISRRT_Radiographer/#Radiological_Technologist_Definition Following ISRRT document outlines the definition and role of radiographers/radiological technologists as adopted in August 2021. Key points include: #Terminology: The term radiographer/radiological technologist is used to describe professionals in the radiography field. #Role: These professionals are integral to multidisciplinary healthcare teams, providing diagnostic, therapeutic, and research services using various imaging technologies. #Responsibilities: - Use critical thinking, professional and ethical judgment. - Ensure patient safety and care before, during, and after procedures. - Advocate for and practice radiation safety according to the ALARA principle. - Engage in quality assurance and evidence-based practice. - Maintain autonomy and accountability where permissible by law. #Specialties: Include bone densitometry, CT, MRI, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, and more. #Professional_Accountability: Focus on patient-centered care, technical competence, and interdisciplinary communication. The following document emphasizes the importance of education, legal authorization, and adherence to ethical and safety standards in radiography practice according to #ISRRT.

while working as an ultrasound service engineer I came across many artifacts and probe damages that needed to be repaired which helped me to gain more knowledge and experience. This is a very helpful video to summarize the main defaults that you might face and how to deal with and fix these damages. #ultrasound #serviceengineer #Probes #ultrasoundtechnology #biomedicalengineer

🛎️ 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗵𝗗𝘀! There are increasing numbers of Radiographers with Doctoral Degrees (either PhDs, Professional Doctorates, etc)- but no central database or network that would allow these Doctorates/PhDs to connect/understand each others research activities and interests. To encourage further connections, collaboration and sharing of information, the EFRS European Federation of Radiographer Societies would like to create a #network of #Radiographers with #Doctorate (from all branches of the profession: #medicalimaging, #radiotherapy, #nuclearmedicine). 🎯 If you are interested in joining this group and sharing your information with other Rad-Docs and being included in a central (shared) database, please complete the following and please circulate also to any colleagues (radiographers with PhDs) who may be interested. ➡️ Joining link: https://lnkd.in/dvR3k_xa #EFRS #radiographer #PhD #network #research
