RE: question concerning stress tests

If this idea caught on, it could be the start of a new kind of dosimetrist.  Working in Dx 

imaging, this person would maintiain dose information in the patient's chart and advise 

the physician on doses and potiential dose effects prior to imaging procedures.  I think 

its a good idea but I suspect that most physicians would not agree.

No one in the HP community wants to interfere with the practice of

much dose patients are getting with multiple and repeat nuclear

medicine and/or radiology exams and (2) the real dose that we are

giving to patients' skin and organs in fluoroscopy exams. (Operative

word "cognizant")
