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

This course is designed to meet the California Department of Public Health Radiologic Health Branch 2013 CE licensure renewal rules for you, the Certified Radiologic Technologists (CRTs). The  state rules that four of the 24 required hours obtained must be about digital radiography within the two years immediately preceding the expiration of your permit. CRT’s and PA’s with a fluoroscopic permit are also required to obtain four hours of radiation safety for the clinical uses of fluoroscopy. Join us in this 8 hour day that covers both CE requirements!


Join faculty expert Michael Zetina for an exciting and engaging 8-hour day that covers both new CE requirements in digital radiography and radiation safety for the clinical uses of fluoroscopy. This course is designed to equip you with practical skills and knowledge that you can apply in your work immediately.

During this course, you will dive deep into essential topics such as visual physiology, image quality, recording systems, and much more. You'll also explore the biologic effects of fluoroscopy and learn how to evaluate digital images effectively.

We'll cover all the fundamentals of digital imaging, including CR/DR, image capture, and processing, so you'll be well-prepared to handle any situation that comes your way. With our troubleshooting tips, you'll learn how to quickly identify and fix acquisition errors and artifacts.

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.
