Springfield Clinic Maintains Radiation Safety Excellence With Consistent, Efficient Dosimetry Support

With a large imaging program supporting multiple service lines across 15 sites, Springfield Clinic relies on Radiation Detection Company as a dosimetry partner that provides timely reporting, clear communication, and consistency across locations.

While high-dose incidents throughout Springfield Clinic’s sites are rare, any incident requires swift insight and immediate action. Historically, high-dose readings were linked to environmental exposure (e.g., employees taking badges home), not clinical operations – a distinction that required accurate, on-time records and thoughtful interpretation.

Without a reliable dosimetry service provider, Springfield Clinic would not be able to meet the high radiation safety standards they’ve set across all of their imaging locations. With Radiation Detection Company (RDC), the imaging team at Springfield Clinic can focus on delivering exceptional patient care without getting bogged down by delayed or inaccurate dose reports.

“We really don’t see many overages when it comes to dose. Our physicist reviews every report, which keeps our technologists informed and everything in check. It gives us peace of mind knowing issues are caught quickly and handled well.”

– Brenda Bale, Springfield Clinic Director of Radiology

Springfield Clinic made the transition to RDC years ago. As the Director of Radiology, Brenda Bale has continued to prioritize her team’s radiation safety and build on the benefits of reliable dosimetry service, empowered by effective collaboration.

“I really appreciate that Brenda has brought our physicist into the process to review every report. It means our technologists are always kept informed when new reports come in, and it keeps everything in check. Honestly, we have no complaints – things are running smoothly with reporting.”

– Charity Mizera, Springfield Clinic Imaging Operations Manager

With RDC, Springfield Clinic receives:

• Timely dose reports
• Proactive support and reliable shipping
• A platform that integrates physicist oversight with technologist awareness

Radiation Detection Company’s consistency enables the Springfield Clinic team to focus on patient care rather than administrative delays or data gaps.

Springfield Clinic’s imaging team operates with full confidence in their dosimetry process, empowered by fast turnaround times, predictable service, and effective collaboration with their physicist.

Reports are never delayed, badge shipments are always on time, and issues are rare and addressed quickly.

“The reporting system is extremely important to us, and RDC has been quick and efficient. Reports always come back on time. We’ve never had a late shipment, and that kind of consistency makes our jobs a lot easier. The relationship has been really solid.”

– Brenda Bale, Springfield Clinic Director of Radiology

Springfield Clinic’s relationship with RDC is strong and dependable.

With RDC as their dosimetry provider, Springfield Clinic has strengthened its approach to radiation safety and compliance. The partnership supports their mission to deliver exceptional care backed by operational efficiency and clinical integrity.

“Things are running smoothly. We’ve had zero issues, and that consistency lets us focus on what matters most: our patients and our team.”
