FOR PATIENTS

Our pledge to you

 

Our Radiologists have taken the appropriate pledges to Image Wisely (adults) and Image Gently (children). The American College of Radiology (ACR) advises that no imaging exam should be performed unless there is a clear medical benefit that outweighs any associated risk. The ACR supports the ‘as low as reasonably achievable’ (ALARA) concept which urges providers to use the minimum level of radiation needed in imaging exams to achieve the necessary results. The Imaging Wisely® and Imaging Gently ® initiatives supported by the ACR are committed to raising awareness throughout the medical community about opportunities for eliminating unnecessary imaging exams and to lowering the amount of radiation used in necessary imaging exams to only that needed to capture optimal medical images. These campaigns emphasize the need for a standardized approach by measuring patient body size and developing technique charts. These are consistent with our work principles and mindset, that leads to a culture of professional excellence.
