CE Opportunity: Understanding the Balance

Between CT Dose & Image Quality

We still have a few spots open for our upcoming CE opportunity!

PRS is working with Stronger Links Medical Imaging Education to bring you quarterly education opportunities via webinar. The format for this 2-hour CE opportunity is a pre-recorded video session that will be available to complete within a designated time frame over the week of October 31st - November 3rd. This means that you can still earn CE credit, even if you can't be at your computer for a straight 2-hour block of time to view the webinar in a single session.

Webinar Objectives & Activity Instructions

1. Discuss the issues that lead to concern for CT radiation dose.
• Radiation exposure per-capita trends
• Over-utilization
• Medical radiation accidents
2. Define terms and measures relative to CT radiation dose
3. Identify image quality measures
4. Understand how image quality measures and parameters affect radiation dose

• Each registrant will be emailed a link to the content video.
• Each registrant will view the video, then send a response to Stronger Links stating they have viewed the video and are ready for the post-test.
• Stronger Links will email the post-test and answer sheet to each registrant who confirmed having viewed the video.  The post-test is to be printed, completed, and returned via email to Stronger Links. 
• The post-tests will be graded and returned to the participant.  If the participant passed, a certificate will also be emailed. The ASRT requires a passing score of at least 75% or higher to issue credit.  If a participant attempts a post-test three times and is unable to achieve a passing score, credit cannot be issued.

Registration is limited and due by October 25th! To register online, please visit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WLDL8ZV As registration is limited, we would ask that you only register if you are sure that you will complete the session within the designated timeframe. Thank you!
