Ann Obergfell JD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

1) Access the Practice Standards for Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy and the Rules of Ethics. 2) Analyze practice scenarios to determine if the practice meets acceptable professional perfomance. 3) apply the Rules of Ethics to determine if behavior complies with professional expectation and patient safety guidelines.

The changing healthcare environment may produce anxiety among imaging professionals as they navigate new clinical expectations balanced against professional performance guidelines.  This presentation will discuss the Practice Standards for Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy adopted by  the ASRT and the Standards of Ethics adopted and enforced by the ARRT and the application and implication of each on daily practice.  Specific scenarios related to practice will be analyzed utilizing the Practice Standards to determine the appropriateness of practice and the Standards of Ethics to ascertain professional ethical compliance.
