• Digital Radiography and Fluoroscopic Radiation Safety for the Certified Radiologic Technologist

Target Audience: Certified Radiologic Technologists (CRTs), Registered Technologists (R.T.s), and Physician Assistants (PAs).

As imaging technology evolves, so do the regulatory standards required to maintain your license. This comprehensive 8-hour course is designed to provide a deep dive into the dual pillars of modern imaging: Digital Radiography and Fluoroscopic Radiation Safety.

Whether you are meeting national ARRT® Category A requirements or fulfilling specific state mandates, this course provides the essential clinical knowledge and safety protocols necessary for excellence in patient care.

Why Attend?

  • National Compliance: Earn 8.0 ARRT® Category A CE credits.

  • California Specifics: Fully meets the CDPH-RHB requirement for 4 hours of Digital Radiography and 4 hours of Fluoroscopy Radiation Safety.

  • State-Wide Relevance: Designed to satisfy specialized safety and imaging mandates in states such as Texas, Florida, Massachusetts, and Oregon, where specific hours in ionizing radiation or radiation safety are required.

  • Clinical Impact: Gain practical troubleshooting skills and a stronger understanding of dose reduction and image quality that you can apply immediately in your department.

Course Highlights

Join faculty expert Michael Zetina for an engaging, interactive day that moves beyond theory into practical application. You will explore:

  • The Physics of Excellence: Mastering CR/DR image capture, extraction, and processing.

  • Safety & Biology: A deep dive into the biologic effects of fluoroscopy and effective dose management.

  • Quality & Troubleshooting: How to identify acquisition errors, eliminate artifacts, and optimize image quality using the latest flat-panel detector technology.

  • Specialized Imaging: Best practices for pediatric fluoroscopy and evaluating digital images effectively.

Michael Zetina , RT(R)(CT)

Michael Zetina, MHI, RT(R)(CT) received his Master Degree in Health Informatic at Purdue. Michael has been a Radiology Instructor at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science and Brightwood College that was formerly Kaplan College. He has been teaching radiation safety, CT and many other radiology courses for over a decade and has over 20 years of experience as a radiographer with an emphasis in cardiac research. His educational focus is clinical informatics with an interest in radiomic research. Radiomics is a method of extracting features from medical images using data algorithms to potentially uncover disease characteristics that fail to be seen by the naked eye.
