One of the most interesting facts emphasized in this article surrounds the radiation exposure levels brought upon by hospital radiation testing.  It was noted that some medical imaging procedures “can increase your risk of cancer by almost 1%, according to a radiological lab at the University of California, Davis.”

RadTrac realizes this threat of medical radiation overexposure and we want to help reduce the risks and repercussions that can be involved.  Our tracking and flagging method can help to prevent hospital radiation overexposure from occurring.  For more information, contact us today.
