Radiation exposure remains a significant occupational concern for physicians and clinical staff working in interventional cardiology and catheterization laboratories. As procedures become more advanced and imaging times increase, the importance of effective radiation protection strategies in the cath lab continues to grow.

In this episode of the Voices of Women As One podcast, Eric Radtke, Vice President at Worldwide Innovations & Technologies and a leader behind the RADPAD® radiation protection system, discusses the evolving conversation around radiation safety for interventional teams. The episode, titled “This Is How We Do It: Eric Radtke – On Selling Safety,” explores how awareness, education, and innovative protective technologies are helping reduce radiation exposure during fluoroscopy-guided procedures.

Hosted by Women As One, a global organization focused on advancing opportunity and leadership in cardiovascular medicine, the podcast highlights voices across cardiology who are working to improve patient care and the clinical environment for healthcare professionals.

During the discussion, Radtke shares insights on:

• Why radiation exposure remains a challenge in cath labs
• How protective technologies like RADPAD® help reduce scatter radiation
• The importance of building a culture of radiation awareness and safety
• The role of innovation in improving occupational safety for interventional cardiologists and staff

The conversation provides a valuable perspective for cardiologists, cath lab teams, hospital administrators, and medical device professionals who are focused on improving safety in fluoroscopy-guided procedures.
