    About the webinar

    Radiation induced skin injuries (RISI) have continued to be reported among patients undergoing fluoroscopic guided interventional procedures since the early 1990’s. RISI on workers’ hands were first reported immediately after the discovery of X rays in 1895, but they became a thing of the past in the early part of the last century. During the past half century, it is extremely rare to find cases of RISI among workers and the concern is now directed towards patients. RISI includes the reddening of the skin and can, in severe situations, have the appearance of a burn. RISI also includes hair loss on exposed part of the skin. While hair loss is generally reversible, severe skin injuries pose challenge to deal with.

    This webinar reviews the available information on RISI in fluoroscopic guided interventional procedures and briefly cover the means to avoid such injuries. Management of injuries is outside the scope of this webinar.?
