RadTrac Helps Patients Avoid Medical Radiation Overdose
with Radiation Dose Tracking

RadTrac uses a system that allows for mining of previous patient radiation exposure through patient records as well as a radiation dose tracking system that follows a patient through their time at a health care facility, building a database of radiation exposure to a particular patient.

Excess Medical Radiation – Radiation Exposure Limits

Through our radiation tracking system, we can prevent medical radiation overexposure by notifying a patient’s physician and the facility when levels become close to Radiation Exposure Limits.

Radiation Tracking & Flagging

Radiation tracking is an essential part in patient safety.  RadTrac’s Radiation Dose Tracking System (RDTS) not only tracks a patient’s exposure to radiation, it also has a flagging system that is set to follow Radiation Exposure Limits. Once a patient becomes close to a radiation exposure level that is dangerous, that patient is flagged in the system. The flag must be reviewed by the facility or physician before a patient can be treated.  Radtrac proud to help secure patient safety through this radiation tracking and flagging system.

RDTS uses an algorithm to assign a risk factor.  That risk factor will be assigned as follows:

GREEN: The patient has had no diagnostic radiation exposure within the last year.

YELLOW: The patient has had moderate diagnostic radiation exposure within the last year and would need a physician’s approval for further diagnostic radiation dosage OR the patient has had minimal to moderate diagnostic radiation exposure within the last year, but the order for the particular imaging study will increase exposure above recommended limits.

RED: The patient has had moderate to heavy amounts of diagnostic radiation exposure and the ordered diagnostic imaging study will increase the patient’s radiation exposure above the recommended limits.
