Organization for Occupational Radiation Safety in Interventional Fluoroscopy

The Organization for Occupational Radiation Safety in Interventional Fluoroscopy (ORSIF) is a non-profit coalition dedicated to raising awareness about the health risks associated with occupational radiation exposure in interventional fluoroscopy labs. The organization advocates for the adoption of advanced radiation protection technologies, such as robotic-assisted systems and suspended lead suits, and standardized safety protocols to protect medical professionals. ORSIF collaborates with industry stakeholders, medical societies, and government agencies to drive policy changes and improve the safety environment of the interventional suite. Their work focuses on the long-term health effects of chronic radiation exposure, including radiation-induced cataracts, malignancies, and orthopedic issues caused by heavy protective gear.
