Our Services
Annual & Periodic Quality Control
Horizon Physics provides annual and periodic quality control programs across every imaging modality, tailored to ACR and state standards, ensuring ongoing accuracy, compliance, and patient safety.
Radiation Safety & Compliance Programs
Horizon Physics offers fully managed radiation safety consulting programs, including ALARA program development, shielding design and surveys, dosimetry management, and corrective action plans.
Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) Services
We offer outsourced RSO services to manage day-to-day safety and compliance needs, including NRC/state licensing, regulatory submissions, audits, and radiation training.
Accreditation & Regulatory Readiness
Horizon Physics provides ACR accreditation consulting and survey preparation, including phantom testing, protocol optimization, documentation review, and mock inspections for seamless compliance success.
Shielding Design & Structural Radiation Protection
Every diagnostic imaging suite begins with a safe and compliant design. Horizon Physics provides comprehensive shielding design and verification services for all diagnostic and nuclear medicine modalities, ensuring safety, compliance, and efficient use of space from the ground up.
Our physicists collaborate directly with architects, engineers, and equipment vendors to produce optimized radiation shielding layouts that meet or exceed all federal and state requirements, including NCRP Reports 147, 151, and 155.
Our shielding design services include:
- Pre-construction layout review and consultation for new facilities, expansions, and equipment upgrades
- Custom shielding calculations for CT, fluoroscopy, radiography, mammography, nuclear medicine, and PET/CT rooms
- 3D modeling and workload-based design analysis to ensure proper material selection (lead, concrete, or composite barriers)
- Review of architectural drawings and communication with design teams to integrate radiation barriers efficiently
- Final post-installation surveys to confirm radiation levels and compliance prior to occupancy
- Documentation packages for submission to state agencies and accrediting bodies
Acceptance Testing & Commissioning
Horizon ensures your systems perform exactly as intended through detailed commissioning for all diagnostic modalities; CT, MRI, Mammography, Fluoroscopy, Radiography, Nuclear Medicine Cameras, and PET. The commissioning physics testing complies with the requirements of the American College of Radiology (ACR), The Joint Commission, and the State.
Horizon with assist you through the entire ACR accreditation process. Our physicist will complete the physics portion of the ACR application for your facility.
Horizon will assist with registering the X-ray unit with the State. Our physicist will perform shielding survey to be filed with the State registration and to maintain for your records.
