Tualatin Imaging, P.C. is proud to join the Alliance for Radiation Safety in Pediatric Imaging in its pledge to increase the awareness of the opportunities to lower radiation dose in the imaging of pediatric patients. We continually adjust our imaging techniques to reduce exposure and avoid a potentially harmful dose of radiation.

Tualatin Imaging’s Efforts

Tualatin Imaging has taken several steps to follow the recommendations of the Image Gently Campaign. Our exams are tailored to limit radiation exposure per current American College of Radiology recommendations. In addition, the Image Gently campaign recommends the following guidelines:

• Image when there is a clear medical benefit
• Use the lowest amount of radiation for adequate imaging based on the size of the child
• Image only the indicated areas
• Avoid multiple scans
• Use alternative diagnostic studies (such as ultrasound or MRI) when possible.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask any of our radiology staff.
