Stewards of radiation and MR safety

Medical imaging technology is high technology and requires diligent maintenance and surveillance by the radiologists and a medical physicist. Use a facility with a strong focus on patient safety.

Well-trained and certified technologists

Technologists are responsible for positioning the patient and making sure the images are of diagnostic quality. Training, certification, and consistent feedback from radiologists are critical elements of an excellent radiology program.

The best technology

State-of-the-art imaging technology is expensive, but often provides superior images and can lower radiation dose. Some facilities cut corners by failing to invest in the most current technology or replace old technology.

Accredited

Check to see if your provider is accredited by the American College of Radiology, which recognizes excellent radiology programs, with special Center of Excellence designations for breast imaging, lung cancer screening.

Internet search tips

Use these tips to guide your internet search for subspecialty radiology groups in your local area. There are many sites for locating physicians, but some can be difficult to navigate and even misleading.

• Visit the website for your local hospital(s) and/or medical association(s) to learn more about the radiologist groups that read patient exams at these facilities. 
• Perform an internet search for “radiology groups” + your town/region and/or nearest city. Include the term “subspecialized” as well as your specific disease state/condition (e.g. fibroids) for a more refined search. 
• Be on the lookout for the term “subspecialized” in your search results. 
  Verify that the facility provides subspecialized diagnostic imaging and/or interventional radiology procedures. 
• Take your findings to your primary care physician to have them validated.
