In addition to the convenient way the book is organized, the guide also converts the different types of radiation units down to one common denominator, a single PA chest X-ray. In this unique way, a physician will know exactly how much radiation he or she is exposing a patient to with each procedure.
"Both HealthHelp and RadSite are excited to support this important publication to ensure that ordering providers are factoring in the best research and current patient safety information to protect individuals," says Cherrill Farnsworth, CEO of HealthHelp and Advisory Board chair of RadSite. "MIC4 does a great job translating complex medical knowledge into actionable decision-making points."
