Protect Your Career.
Protect Your Life.
You dedicate your career to saving patients. ORSIF helps protect you from the hidden dangers of the fluoroscopy lab.
The Evidence Is Clear
Decades of research document the risks. Awareness is the first step to protection.
Two Threats. Zero Awareness.
ORSIF is the only organization addressing BOTH occupational hazards facing fluoroscopy lab personnel.
Every time we step into the lab to save a life, we expose ourselves to the highest occupational radiation dose in medicine.
Lead aprons weighing 25-30 pounds, worn for hours on end. The cumulative damage is devastating.
The hidden cost: $75-100 million annually in healthcare worker injuries
What the Experts Are Saying
Leading researchers and clinicians are sounding the alarm.
“Every 10 millisieverts of low-dose ionizing radiation has a 3% increase in the risk of age and sex adjusted cancer. There's very little data on the actual permanent damage or mechanism of action of radiation on our DNA.”
“60% of respondents had at least one orthopedic injury with a third stating they had experienced lumbar spinal injuries. 20% were forced to limit their time in the Cath lab.”
“We're interested in the real world. What does this mean for staff? What are the actual risks to the people standing beside the patient every day?”
The Cost of Doing Nothing
A career in the cath lab without protection follows a predictable path.
Daily radiation exposure accumulates. Subclinical DNA damage begins. No symptoms yet.
