Consumer Education
Knowledge is power.
Especially when it comes to radiology services,
including imaging tests and radiation cancer treatment
(oncology). As a consumer, you can play an active role in your
health care experience by learning about your health, diagnostic
imaging technology as well as the risks and benefits of the
radiology services that your doctor has suggested.
Here at NIA, we provide data-driven tools and solutions designed to help health care providers deliver the best possible care to their patients. And, you are invited to partner with us in that quest by making informed decisions about your health care.
- Empower yourself with knowledge. Learn about imaging tests, diagnostic imaging technology and your health condition.
- Engage in dialogue with your physician. By asking important questions, you help to safeguard your health.
- Exercise your power to minimize risk. When used appropriately,
advanced medical imaging can be extremely valuable, but it is also
important to understand and minimize your risks through
radiation awareness.
Our goal is to ensure that every patient has access to top-quality, safe and clinically appropriate diagnostic medical imaging services. Through informed decisions, you play an important role in ensuring that you receive the right scan for the right reason at the right time. That's more power to you.
