Patient Safety in Medical Imaging

Patient safety in medical imaging involves ensuring that imaging procedures, such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs, are performed accurately and with minimal risk to the patient. It includes using the correct dose of radiation, properly maintaining equipment, and following safety protocols to prevent errors or unnecessary exposure. Proper training and communication help avoid mistakes, ensuring the imaging provides useful information without compromising health. Overall, it’s about balancing the benefits of accurate diagnosis with protecting patients from potential harm.
