Patients no Longer Need a Lead Apron during X-Ray Examinations

Leading organizations in the field of radiation protection and imaging in Europe have studied the topic in detail and have jointly drawn up general recommendations stating that the use of lead aprons for patients during X-ray and CT examinations is only recommended in exceptional cases.

Modern computer-aided imaging systems are much more sensitive to X-rays than the X-ray films previously used. They produce much more accurate images and require less radiation.

In order to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure for you, we can use the latest technology to individually and precisely adjust the radiation to the area being examined. In addition, only those examinations that are really necessary to make a diagnosis are carried out.

In Austria, radiology technologists have to attend regular training courses, which is why they are competent specialists in radiation in radiological diagnostics and therapy.

X-ray, CT and fluoroscopy systems in Austria are state-of-the-art. They are regularly serviced and inspected by the competent authorities. Technological progress and knowledge make examinations more accurate, safer and faster.
