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.
Yes, I want to Image Wisely.
This is an annual pledge that will expire December 31. Pledge renewals begin January 1.
Image Wisely encourages practitioners to optimize the amount of radiation used in
medically necessary imaging studies and to eliminate unnecessary procedures
