Your physician understands the importance of utilizing the most diagnostic tool to identify your health issue.
With all various imaging options available to your physician, consideration of the symptoms, history and type of information needed guides the imaging choice.
CT imaging is and has long been an appropriate and essential tool to provide specific analysis of many disease processes, trauma evaluation and recovery. Although considering the risk versus the benefit is always necessary, the risk of not having a CT can often have a greater impact on long-range health and recovery.
Your physician has training, experience and resources to recognize which imaging study will give the quickest and most accurate diagnosis so the most appropriate treatment process can begin and provide the best outcome.
Only you and your physician can determine whether the benefit from medical imaging outweighs the risk from radiation exposure. But to alleviate your radiation concerns when CT imaging is the best option for diagnosis, we provide any needed consultation regarding anticipated radiation exposure prior to an exam as well as actual dosage received after an exam. Anyone, physician and/or patients, can call
1-888-4-LOW-DOSE to speak directly with a knowledgeable, professional technologist who can answer questions
and address concerns. You can be confidant that choosing Fairfax Radiological Consultants for your imaging needs will assure you are receiving the lowest possible radiation dose. Our commitment to your safety complements our commitment to the quality of your imaging experience.
