Patient Radiation Safety
Yale New Haven Hospital's Radiation Dose Management Initiative
YNHH has implemented a Radiation Dose Management Program with the introduction of dose management software for all of our imaging modalities. This patient safety program will allow us to give the lowest appropriate dose of radiation to make a diagnosis. This is an important tool to assist in evaluating and maintaining optimal radiation dosage for our patients.
We are also a member of the Connecticut Hospital Association first-ever statewide radiation dose management collaborative. This collaborative will allow us to benchmark radiation dose from CT scans throughout the CHA network of hospitals across the state.
