CE Credits

Safe, effective diagnostic imaging requires more than technical skill—it demands a systems approach to patient care. This course examines the principles of radiation and non-radiation safety within healthcare institutions, from controlling ionizing radiation exposure to ensuring secure electronic data transfer. Learn how radiographers serve as the critical interface between technology and humane healthcare.
