Radiation exposure during pregnancy and lactation is a common source of concern for many patients—but not all exposures carry the same risk. In this informative webinar, Emily A. Caffrey, PhD, CHP, from the Health Physics Society (HPS), breaks down the different types of radiation and what is known about their effects on pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Dr. Caffrey explains how radiation interacts with the body, clarifies misconceptions, and provides science-based guidance to help patients and providers make informed decisions. She also answers frequently asked questions about specific radiological procedures, such as X-rays, CT scans, and nuclear medicine exams during pregnancy and lactation.
This webinar is ideal for healthcare professionals, counselors, and public health educators looking to improve their understanding of radiation safety and better support patients during a time when reassurance and accurate information are essential.
