Initiative to Reduce Unnecessary Radation Exposure from Medical Imaging

摘要

The document announces the launch of a cooperative Initiative to Reduce Unnecessary Radiation Exposure from Medical Imaging. Through this initiative, FDA and our partners will take steps to: 1. Promote safe use of medical imaging devices; 2. Support informed clinical decision making; and 3. Increase patient awareness. By coordinating these efforts, we can optimize patient exposure to radiation from certain types of medical imaging exams, and thereby reduce related risks while maximizing the benefits of these studies.
