The business of iRad Consulting was created after founder/owner, Natalie, spent years working for the State as an x-ray inspector. As an inspector, she would walk into a facility to conduct an inspection and experience firsthand the concern and confusion medical professionals were facing while trying to manage the burden of keeping up with the complex and ever-changing rules and regulations associated with x-ray compliance.

Regulations, however, are created and applied to services and products that demonstrate a level of risk that, if not properly managed, could adversely impact consumers. X-ray services ARE indeed highly regulated – and they should be.

After each new workday began to prove similar to the previous and having to write so many violations while facility owners and doctors were under stress became increasingly uncomfortable. The pattern was confirmed. More often than not, the combination of broad detailed x-ray rules & regulations with service providers having patient care at the top of their mind created a challenge for many providers to maintain a thorough understanding of these rules they are licensed and obligated to operate under.

While most Radiation Safety Officers try their best to maintain full compliance, a significant percentage were still found to be unprepared and non-compliant when inspections were executed.
