Patient safety and radiation
Your doctor or clinical specialist has referred you to Cobalt for a scan. He or she believes the examination is important to help with your diagnosis and that the benefit of diagnosis is much greater than the risk from the small dose of radiation you may receive from certain types of scans (X-ray, CT and PET/CT).
Each scan request is carefully checked by trained imaging professionals to ensure it is the right test for you. We make sure that the radiation dose and risk are kept as low as practicable.
