The Radiation protection in hand surgery (SSHS) specialty focuses on the safe use of imaging techniques in diagnostic and surgical procedures of the hand. The aim is to minimise radiation exposure while ensuring maximum precision in treatment.
The Radiation Protection in Hand Surgery specialty addresses the safe and responsible use of ionising radiation in diagnostic and interventional procedures within hand and microsurgery. Imaging techniques such as intraoperative fluoroscopy and digital radiography are essential for the precise visualisation of bony structures, joints and implants, enabling accurate guidance during surgical procedures.
Our specialists utilise state-of-the-art technologies and optimised imaging and treatment protocols to reduce radiation exposure for patients and medical staff to the lowest level technically achievable. Standardised radiation protection measures are consistently applied and continuously refined.
Particular emphasis is placed on achieving optimal image quality while minimising radiation exposure. Through regular training, quality assurance processes and individual adjustment of technical parameters, we ensure that diagnostic reliability and therapeutic success are always aligned with responsible radiation protection.
