Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging provides immeasurable health benefits. Ultrasound is able to find a wide range of abnomalities, help doctors make the right diagnoses, and allow patients to avoid unnecessary medical procedures. Their benefits far outweigh any risks. We take patient safety very seriously, and use the lowest amounts of ultrasound exposure possible to achieve high quality images.
Steps We Take to Minimize Exposure
We strive to use just enough ultrasound intensity levels to provide a high quality image to help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis. Here are a few examples of how we keep your ultrasound exposure to a minimum:
We work with your doctor to make sure your test is appropriate. If we have any questions about a procedure your doctor ordered, we may call him or her, and, when appropriate, we may suggest a way to get good test results with less ultrasound exposure.
We adhere to the AIUM’s recommendations to ALARA
We carefully adjust the intensity levels of ultrasound to make it optimal for quality diagnostic imaging.
A medical physicists inspects our equipment at least once a year to confirm that we are standards-compliant.
As a result, MYULTRASOUND adheres to the guidelines set forth by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), a national organization that sets the standards for medical ultrasound procedures in the U.S. and the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (SDMS).
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to ask one of our team members during your visit, or call us.
