Medical imaging saves lives but understanding radiation exposure is key to your safety.

IMAGING RADIATION: 12 SHOCKING FACTS TO KNOW

THE ROLE OF IMAGING IN MODERN HEALTHCARE

Over 4 billion imaging tests are performed annually, helping doctors diagnose and plan treatments accurately.

TYPES OF MEDICAL RADIATION

Medical imaging uses ionizing (X-ray, CT) and non ionizing (MRI, ultrasound) radiation for diagnosis.

RADIOGRAPHY: THE MOST COMMON IMAGING METHOD

783 out of 1,000 people undergo radiography yearly. It’s fast, accessible, and highly effective.

CHILDREN FACE HIGHER RADIATION RISKS

Children’s developing tissues are more sensitive to radiation. Pediatric specific low dose protocols are vital.

HIGHER QUALITY IMAGES WITH LOWER RADIATION

Photon counting CT delivers sharper images using significantly lower radiation doses.

NON IONIZING IMAGING OPTIONS

Ultrasound and MRI offer safe, radiation free diagnostics ideal for children and pregnant women.

MAKING INFORMED IMAGING DECISIONS

Understanding radiation risks helps reduce exposure. The ALARA principle ensures the lowest possible dose.
