Use of Radiation in Human Subjects Research

The Radiation Safety Committees of both the UW and Fred Hutch Cancer Center (FHCC) are charged with ensuring radiation is used safely in their facilities, for both patients and employees. To prevent redundancy and increase efficiency, the Human Subjects Radiation Approval Committee (HSRAC) functions as a centralized body to review and approve applications to use radiation in human subjects research.
