  • What You'll Learn

    Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) are among the most common occupational injuries among medical imaging professionals. This lecture presents an overview of ergonomic risk factors inherent in imaging environments including poor body mechanics, repetitive motions, heavy lead shielding, awkward positioning and improper patient transfer techniques. Emphasis will be placed on practical strategies to reduce injury risk, such as equipment optimization, workflow improvements and ergonomic workspace design. Attendees will explore practical ways to promote safer practices, reduce physical strain and support long-term career sustainability in medical imaging.

    Objectives

    After this presentation, the attendee will be able to:

    • Identify ergonomic risk factors in practice, including repetitive tasks, heavy shielding, poor body mechanics and unsafe patient transfers.
    • Explain how equipment design and workspace layout can influence musculoskeletal health and workflow efficiency.
    • Apply strategies to reduce physical strain, such as optimizing positioning, improving task sequencing and minimizing forceful exertions.
    • Discuss workplace practices that promote safer work habits and support long-term career longevity in medical imaging.
