Commitment to Innovation and Safety

Michelle Govan, a seasoned radiologic technologist with over three decades of experience, including ten years in academia, has joined the Burlington Medical team as their Clinical Trainer.

Michelle underscores the growing need for radiation protection: “The number of procedures performed in fluoroscopy suites has been steadily increasing over the years. In this capacity, I feel compelled to emphasize the critical importance of healthcare providers safeguarding themselves from scatter radiation particularly to radiosensitive tissues, such as the eyes, by consistently wearing radiation protective eyewear. Prolonged exposure to scatter radiation can pose significant hazards and may lead to the development of cumulative eye related conditions including posterior subscapular cataracts, eyelid cancer and occasionally cortical opacities. The utilization of specialized radiation protective eyewear (RPE) empowers medical professional to safeguard their gift of vision, while maintaining the delivery of exceptional patient care.
