Protecting your patients and your people

Radiation dose is a complex issue, especially when viewed in the context of healthcare. Used appropriately radiation brings many universally accepted medical benefits, including the identification and treatment of damaged bones, cancers, and heart abnormalities. However, it also has the power to harm human DNA and, if used negligently, to cause cancer.


At Philips, we have established ourselves as a leader in the area of dose management; Philips DoseWise is a set of techniques, programs, and practices that better protect your patients and your people from the negative effects of radiation in X-ray environments.
