PATIENT SAFETY

Inland Imaging’s Interventional Radiologist Consultants take strong measures to ensure each patient is safely examined and/or treated. We have a full-time staff dedicated to evaluating patient results each day and monitoring the quality of each exam. This includes data collections of report turnaround time, radiation dosages, clinical accuracy, and tracking communication with referring physicians.

Each staff member is specially trained in their specific exam realm and continually participates in ongoing education, becoming more familiar with new protocols or updated health care indicators associated with their modality.

Inland Imaging IR Consultants’ equipment and facilities are meticulously maintained and are required to meet high measures of industry standards set by government and health care officials. Upgrades to software and medical imaging machines are done regularly to meet these guidelines.

The IR Consultants also evaluate risk vs benefit of any exam before it is performed. Tests are conducted in a controlled setting and are targeted to limit radiation exposure to a specific part of the body. Patient history and age are major factors taken into consideration and evaluated before any exam will proceed as ordered.

Inland Imaging IR consultants and other medical professionals have long recognized risks associated with some imaging procedures. For this reason, there have been rigorous standards implemented for each modality. In most cases, an associated risk is small relative to the diagnostic information obtained from most exams.
