IN VIEW OF THE CONCERN GENERATED BY RECENT ARTICLES IN LOCAL NEWSPAPERS, MINK RADIOLOGY WISHES TO ASSURE ITS REFERRING PHYSICIANS AND PATIENT POPULATION THAT THE CT SCANNERS IN OUR FACILITIES ARE EXPOSING PATIENTS TO LEVELS NO HIGHER THAN THOSE ESTABLISHED AS SAFE BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGY.  TO GUARANTEE THAT THESE LEVELS ARE RESPECTED, WE HAVE HAD, FOR 6 YEARS, THE FOLLOWING QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM IN PLACE:

WE HAVE ANNUAL REVIEWS BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF RADIOLOGY (ACR) AT WHICH TIME OUR CERTIFICATION IS RENEWED FOLLOWING A RIGOROUS DATA ANALYSIS.  ADDITIONALLY, WE HAVE A LOCAL FIELD ENGINEER “TUNE” OUR SCANNERS ONCE PER MONTH

AS A FINAL MEASURE TO ASSURE SAFETY, WE HAVE JUST COMPLETED A REVIEW BY AN INDEPENDENT PHYSICIST WHOSE REPORT CONFIRMS THAT WE ARE OPERATING UNDER THE LOWEST POSSIBLE LEVELS OF  RADIATION EXPOSURE FOR ALL CT EXAMINATIONS.
