Do radiology exams use much radiation?
No. Hastings Imaging Center follows the regulations put forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Health and Human Services of Nebraska. We strictly follow the ALARA principle, which stands for ‘As Low As Reasonably Achievable.’ This means that we use the lowest possible radiation dose to still achieve the highest possible quality exam. We are particularly careful with children and breast imaging. We have specific Pediatric Low Dose protocols. Our Digital Mammograms offer the lowest dose possible.
