Best Practices and Education for Radiation Safety Shared by Physicians Using New Peer Community Site

The aim of the initiative is to help physicians, now more aware about the cumulative effect of radiation exposure, to reduce their exposure over the course of their career.

To address this, Unfors RaySafe, a Fluke Biomedical Company, launched the LowerMyDose.com site. This first-of-its kind community delivers the most current research about radiation exposure, as well as stories and anecdotes from practicing clinical personnel. LowerMyDose dot com promotes peer-to-peer engagement through real-life experience sharing about the concerns of excessive and unnecessary radiation exposure.

Scott Pollak, MD, interventional cardiologist at Florida Hospital Orlando, said, "Radiation safety awareness is key not just for patients, but for the physicians and clinical teams treating patients. Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I had some awareness of the possible risks of radiation exposure, but my knowledge was limited. LowerMyDose dot com is an invaluable resource for physicians, technologists and nurses who are exposed to radiation on a daily basis."
