Mark your calendar for Feb. 2-5, 2025! ORSIF is proud to support the International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy (ISET) from HMP Global. We look forward to this opportunity to connect with caregivers about the vital importance of radiation safety. Registration link: https://lnkd.in/eyxndZqM

Introducing the first-of-its-kind summit dedicated entirely to radiation safety — the inaugural Global Symposium on Interventional Radiation Protection (SIRP). The live online symposium will be held September 26-27, 2025 in partnership with Occupational Radiation Safety in Interventional Fluoroscopy (ORSIF). “We have entered a new era where the cases are becoming more complex and the expertise of these operators are essential for best patient outcomes,” said Bob Foster, MD, President of ORSIF. “These cases are exposing teams to more radiation and bodily risks. New technologies are now available to mitigate the risks and allow team members to have long and healthy careers.” Learn more: https://okt.to/mi0Uwg #Radiation #Safety #HealthcareMadePractical #ICYMI

ORSIF would like to officially welcome Angiosystems, Inc. as a corporate sponsor. We would like thank David Hopkins (President) and David Scharoun (General Manager) for the initiative they have shown to support ORSIF. We are excited to have AngioSystems join the team and look forward to working with them along with all of our sponsors to drive the awareness for increased occupational radiation safety. “With our SorbX Scatter Radiation Protection Shields, AngioSystems is proud to partner with ORSIF in bringing awareness and solutions to those medical professionals who are exposed to ionized radiation in their practice every day. For 40 years AngioSystems has taken concepts and ideas and turned them into products benefiting the medical industry. For the past 22 years we have focused our efforts on radiation protection. We are committed to providing products that will provide safety to those professionals in the interventional fluoroscopy labs who selflessly care for their patients, sometimes at the expense of their own health.” - David Hopkins (AngioSystems President) https://lnkd.in/dFK9wBaG

In 2017 Dr. Edward "Ted" Diethrich passed away due to complications from a brain tumor. He was convinced the tumor was caused by radiation exposure during the course of his work. Dr. Diethrich was a world-renowned Cardiovascular Surgeon and dedicated pioneer in the Endovascular field, whose incredible career of selflessly caring for patients is an example of medical professionalism and service at its finest. His tragic death from prolonged occupational radiation exposure serves as a valuable lesson to focus on our own safety as we provide care. Join ORSIF.org today to learn about risks and solutions, and to lend your voice to our mission of prioritizing radiation safety for caregivers. #radiationsafety
