ORSIF Mission
ORSIF raises awareness of the occupational radiation and musculoskeletal hazards faced by healthcare professionals in interventional fluoroscopy environments. We advocate for safer practices, better protection, and institutional support to ensure that those who care for others are not put at unnecessary risk themselves.
Our mission is driven by the belief that patient safety and healthcare worker safety must be held to the same standard- because protecting those who heal is essential to the integrity and sustainability of modern medicine.

Dr. Diethrich's Story
Compelling video testimony from Dr. Edward Diethrich (1935 to 2017), 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 prioritize our own safety as we provide care.
Ionizing radiation is a biological hazard. Radiation safety starts with you.
