LABORATORIES
MediPhys can help plan the optimum placement of your diagnostic imaging unit and the shielding requirements to ensure a safe environment for your staff. We can help select equipment as well as perform the acceptance and regulatory tests required to get your laboratory up and running for safe and effective imaging of patients. Our medical physicists can provide expert advice on mammography units, x-ray machines and ultrasound units.
DENTAL CLINICS
You need a highly qualified medical physicist to ensure that your x-ray machine placement and shielding is compliant with the Healing Arts Radiation Protection Act as well as Health Canada’s Safety Code 30: Recommended Safety Procedures for the Use of Dental X-Ray Equipment. A medical physicist is best trained to conduct compliance testing and to provide advice and training to your staff operating the x-ray unit.
HOSPITALS
The medical physicists at MediPhys Associates Inc. believe that tracking quality assurance data is sound practice and could predict future failures, mitigating costly equipment downtime. We will provide you with easy-to-read control charts of our measurements and recommend servicing strategies if required. The medical physicists at MediPhys Associates Inc. have over 40 years of experience in a clinical setting. For instance, the Canadian Partnership for Quality Radiotherapy (CPQR) [http://www.cpqr.ca/programs/technical-quality-control/] recommends annual independent reviews of a cancer centre quality assurance program. We have the necessary expertise to help you comply with this recommendation.
VETERINARY CLINICS
The diagnostic imaging equipment in your veterinary clinics provides key diagnostic information for diagnosis and treatment. We will perform quality assurance measurements according to Health Canada’s Safety Code 28: Recommended Safety Procedures for Installation and Use of Veterinary X-Ray Equipment. Upon performing these measurements, we would advocate placing this information on your website to separate your clinic you’re your competitors. This may be the marketing advantage you have been looking for to increase your patient population.
MANUFACTURERS
If you use lasers in your manufacturing process, laser calibration and laser safety are key to your success. Your employees need to feel comfortable around any laser systems and equally as important, your laser system must be properly calibrated to ensure precise and accurate manufacturing. The medical physicists at MediPhys Associates Inc. have decades of experience in calibrating low and high-power lasers as well as training individuals in laser safety. As your laser system ages, service contracts with the original manufacturer can be expensive and require significant downtime. We at MediPhys have the expertise and ability to perform these calibration services in a timely manner at a reduced price.
ESTHETICIANS
