American Imaging Management

Patient Safety

Advanced diagnostic imaging is one of the most important tools in modern medicine. Imaging use has grown significantly and has caused an equally dramatic increase in the amount of radiation exposure associated with these studies.

As part of its commitment to provide physicians and patients with information to support informed treatment decision making, AIM's Patient Safety website offers information on the radiation dosage associated with these advanced imaging modalities.

Our interactive human model allows users to select a specific imaging modality/exam and provides the most up to date estimated radiation dosage for that modality/exam.

The contents of the Patient Safety portion of the AIM website, including text, graphics, images, and other material, is provided for informational purposes only. The Patient Safety information is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, and should not be considered a substitute for the experience and judgment of a physician or other health care professional. Any clinician seeking to apply or consult this information is expected to use independent medical judgment in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine any patient's care or treatment. Patients should not disregard the advice of their physician or delay in seeking treatment because of the information provided. AIM disclaims all responsibility for any consequences or liability attributable or related to any use, nonuse or interpretation of the Patient Safety information.
