Radiation Protection in Cardiology

This is a series of powerpoint presentations written and developed in 2005 by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for distribution to healthcare professionals including cardiologists, radiologists and radiographers.
Use them as self instructional resources.
You may find that the protection aspects have a wider application than cardiology alone.
We are very grateful to the IAEA for use of this valuable resource. Copyright remains with the IAEA 2005.
