Commitment to Radiation Safety

We are committed to using the lowest amount of radiation to obtain the best images and our technologists are highly trained in radiation safety practices. We promote:

• ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) – making every reasonable effort to maintain exposures to ionizing radiation as far below the dose limits as practical
• Image Wisely – a campaign with the objective of lowering the amount of radiation used in medically necessary adult imaging studies and eliminating unnecessary procedures
• Image Gently – a campaign to promote radiation protection in the imaging of children

Quality Initiatives

The Radiology Department recently participated in Highmark’s Quality Blue Hospital Pay-for-Performance Program, which evaluates participating hospitals using evidence-based practices and industry standards established by national quality organizations. We are proud to announce that the department scored 100% in Imaging Efficiency by establishing methods and practices to reduce the radiation dose to patients without compromising quality imaging.
