Injured Atlanta Patients to Benefit From Pledge to Limit Radiation Exposure

I recently posted a blog reporting on the overuse of x-rays and other types of diagnostic tests related to dental procedures. According to a recent article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, a panel of medical experts has pledged to put new general protocols into place to limit radiation exposure to patients.
While a doctor or dentist should never perform a procedure prior to doing all image tests necessary to properly diagnose and treat a condition, unwarranted x-rays are a waste of money and can potentially lead to cancer in patients.
As Atlanta Personal Injury Lawyers we applaud the recent medical panel's pledge to limit x-rays in hopes of avoiding future cases of cancer.
