Due consideration is to be given to the clinical indication, needs and abilities of the patient when tailoring the examination.
Check patients’ identity and examinations required ensuring all examinations are justified and optimized.
Assess, in consultation with the Radiologist where necessary, the justification for ionizing radiation exposure given in referrals for ionizing radiation examinations, using the ALARA principle as the standard.
