Collectively, Columbia
University Medical Center, New York Presbyterian Hospital and
New York State Psychiatric Institute form a large health
science complex with extensive teaching, research, and clinical
facilities. The basic goal of the Radiation Safety Office is to
ensure the implementation of all protective measures necessary
to guarantee that doses from ionizing radiation to patients,
visitors, students, faculty and staff on campus, as well as to
the community at large, remain “as low as reasonably achievable”
(ALARA). Major entities supported by Radiation Safety Office
services include:
- Columbia University Medical Center
- New York Presbyterian Hospital
- New York State Psychiatric Institute
- Columbia Presbyterian Eastside
- New York Presbyterian Hospital/Allen Pavilion
- CUMC Cyclotron Facility
- Dental Facilities throughout CUMC
