Pledge for Imaging Professionals
I wish to optimize the use of radiation in imaging patients and thereby pledge:
- To put my patients' safety, health and welfare first by optimizing imaging examinations to use only the radiation necessary to produce diagnostic-quality images.
- To convey the principles of the Image Wisely® program to the imaging team in order to ensure that my facility optimizes its use of radiation when imaging patients.
- To communicate optimal patient imaging strategies to referring physicians, and to be available for consultation.
- To routinely review imaging protocols to ensure that the least radiation necessary to acquire a diagnostic-quality image is used for each examination.
- To monitor examination radiation dose indices to enable comparison to established diagnostic reference levels.
