Radiological Imaging Guidelines

Radiological imaging guidelines are safety protocols that help ensure medical scans like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs are used appropriately to diagnose and monitor health conditions. They aim to balance the benefit of obtaining valuable diagnostic information with minimizing unnecessary exposure to radiation. These guidelines recommend when imaging is necessary, considering alternative options, and using the lowest effective dose of radiation. They also emphasize patient safety, informed decision-making, and evidence-based practices to optimize healthcare quality and reduce potential risks associated with medical imaging.
