“Ultrasound imaging, particularly with advanced systems like the Voluson Expert 22, provides pregnant women with safe, accurate, and comprehensive imaging without ionizing radiation, observing the ALARA Principle,” said CebuDoc’s obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. Maria Victoria Larrazabal, MD.

ALARA, short for “as low as reasonably achievable,” is a principle in radiation safety that means avoiding exposure to radiation that offers no benefit to the patient or the person in concern.
