Image for radiation dose reduction

radiation dose reduction

Radiation dose reduction refers to methods and techniques used to minimize the amount of radiation exposure patients receive during medical imaging procedures, such as X-rays or CT scans. This is important because while these tests provide valuable information for diagnosis, excessive radiation can pose health risks. By using advanced technology, optimizing procedures, and adhering to safety guidelines, healthcare providers aim to achieve the necessary imaging results while keeping radiation exposure as low as possible. The goal is to ensure patient's safety without compromising the quality of care.
