Fluoroscopy Radiation Safety — Initial Training (Group A)
Initial fluoroscopy radiation safety training for Group A operators of Class 1 procedures (NCRP Commentary No. 33): eight modules, module quizzes, final exam and a didactic certificate; hands-on sign-off by your facility.
Course Description
Initial fluoroscopy radiation safety training for physicians and other operators who perform or supervise Class 1 (potentially high-dose) fluoroscopically guided procedures — Training Group A under NCRP Commentary No. 33. Eight video modules (modules 1–7 each followed by a short quiz), then a final exam and a certificate for the didactic portion. Your facility provides the course manual and facility insert, the live case workshop, and the machine-specific hands-on session and sign-off. This online course and its certificate cover the didactic portion.
Learning Objectives
- Classify operator scope using NCRP Commentary No. 33 risk classes and training groups
