What You Need to Know About Implementing a Radiation Safety Program
The information you need to start a radiation dose safety program as presented at AHRA 2014.
WASHINGTON, D.C.-“Step into the spotlight before the spotlight finds you,” Shawn McKenzie of Ascendian Healthcare Consulting, said at AHRA 2014.
