This initiative was created to promote radiation safety awareness in the veterinary workplace with the goal of reducing occupational radiation exposure of veterinary personnel through a combination of ‘hands-free’ techniques workshop, innovative restraint devices and industry educational resources.
The ACVR’s Radiation Protection Committee recently reviewed this initiative and commend the Hands-Free Veterinary Radiology Group on their work! Check out their website for more information. Hands-Free X-Ray recently developed an excellent poster detailing radiation protection – Display it prominently in your radiology suite!
