Calling all patients and families! Take the Let’s Talk Radiation Risk Patient Survey! Have you ever thought about the risk of being exposed to radiation from medical imaging tests like X-rays or CT scans, or from radiation treatment for diseases like cancer? We want to hear from you! The Let’s Talk Radiation Risk Patient Survey will be used to improve the way patients, families, and healthcare professionals communicate and make decisions about these types of medical tests and treatments. Survey completers will be entered in a lottery to win one of five $100.00 gift cards. Take the survey: https://lnkd.in/e7rz5Q2n Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/egZ6nufG
