- Optimize imaging examinations to use only the radiation necessary to produce diagnostic quality images
- Convey messages to the imaging team to ensure that the facility optimizes its use of radiation when imaging patients
- Communicate optimal patient imaging strategies to referring physicians, and be available for consultation
- Routinely review imaging protocols to ensure the use of the least amount of radiation necessary to acquire a diagnostic quality image for each exam
Image Wisely is a collaborative initiative of the ACR, RSNA, ASRT and AAPM
