- Be aware of scatter when radiation is deflected from the patient or surfaces
- Step away from the beam when screening, if able to do so
- Avoid the use of the image intensifier in the true lateral position where possible
- If a lateral view is required, consider a 70-degree view, with the beam directed away from the operating surgeon
- Consider the additional value of each image to the success of the procedure and minimise overall number of images
- Avoid live screening
- Wear appropriate, correctly fitting PPE
