On February 9, 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced an initiative to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure from medical imaging procedures.
Radiologists, medical physicists and other radiology professionals have long recognized the need for conscientious implementation of medical procedures that deliver ionizing radiation and have assumed a collective responsibility for maintaining rigorous standards of practice.
We follow strict imaging utilization standards. At Advanced Imaging of Port Charlotte, our radiologists and medical physicists work together to assure the safety of imaging by minimizing exposure without sacrificing diagnostic ability. Our physicists’ reports are continually well below the suggested radiation dose administration per exam.
Your safety is important to us. Should you have any concerns about the radiation you may be exposed to during your exam, please feel free to discuss this with your technologist.
