X-Ray Safety

This course provides an overview of x-ray radiation, the equipment that generates it, and the safety protocols designed to limit the risk from unintentional and occupational exposure to x-ray radiation.

COURSE OVERVIEW

The “X-Ray Safety” course focuses on the importance of safety when handling X-Ray technology within a laboratory environment. While X-Rays are generally considered safe when used appropriately, serious health issues, including cancer, severe hypotension, and cardiac arrest, can arise from inappropriate use and overexposure. Consequently, it is crucial for both students and faculty to receive adequate safety training for their protection. The primary objective of the “X-Ray Safety” course is to promote the secure handling of X-Rays within the confines of a laboratory setting.

After successfully completing the “X-Ray Safety” course, participants should have an improved understanding of:
