www.medicalradiation.com is a web resource geared to informing patients about the facts related to radiation exposure and diagnostic imaging.  At Pueblo Radiology, our radiation producing equipment is inspected by a licensed physicist annually and has routine preventative mainten-ance.  We currently participate in a national database for CT dose tracking, and will be comparing our CT dose profiles to those of other institutions.  Currently, we have on-going scrutiny of our CT scanning protocols by our radiologists to assure the lowest possible dose is delivered without compromising image quality. 


 

We have introduced 3T imaging to our practice and have been very pleased with the image quality and patient friendly characteristics of our new magnet.  We have expanded our scanning capabilities with prostate and liver imaging, as well as moved our breast MRI imaging to this new platform.  For severely claustro-phobic patients, we continue to offer imaging on our open MRI unit in Santa Barbara.
