1. Justification Flow chart 2. Position statement on optimization
Radiographers’ Role in
Optimization of Medical Exposure
The ISRRT considers optimization of
medical exposures to the patient to be
part of the radiographer’s scope of
practice, subject to their demonstration of
appropriate education and training leading
to clinical competence.
The ISRRT expects all qualified
radiographers to be competent in the
principles and practice of ionizing
radiation dose optimization relevant to
their clinical work.
