Siemens offers radiation website for general public

Siemens Healthcare has launched a new information source for patients facing an x-ray or a nuclear medicine exam. At www.medicalradiation.com, scientific journalists and experts from Siemens provide basic details about medical radiation for patients and interested members of the general public.

The site features the fundamentals of the physics involved in the exams, an introduction to imaging procedures and notes on minimizing exposure to radiation, and a glossary that explains the most common technical terms.

Siemens also recently opened its Low Dose Information Center for doctors and clinical personnel at www.siemens.com/low-dose, which provides comprehensive information and further education offerings on dose reduction.
