    Dr. Juan Carlos Flores discusses radiation safety. There are many sources of radiation in our everyday environments, particularly in the clinical setting. Dr. Flores discusses x-rays, a prominent form of radiation for pain specialists, in depth. He argues that we should be more responsible managing the interaction between x-rays and living matter. Fluoroscopy use also needs to be justified. Radiation has been linked to cancer. Thus, reducing radiation exposure for everyone is critical.
