SCCT guidelines on radiation dose and dose-optimization strategies in cardiovascular CT.
Over the last few years, computed tomography (CT) has developed into a standard clinical test for a variety of cardiovascular conditions. The emergence of cardiovascular CT during a period of dramatic increase in radiation exposure to the population from medical procedures and heightened concern about the subsequent potential cancer risk has led to intense scrutiny of the radiation burden of th...
متن کاملImage Optimization and reduction of radiation dose in CT of the paranasal sinuses
Introduction: Since demand for computed tomography (CT) examinations is growing, patients are exposed more frequently to ionizing radiation. To reduce the dose delivered to patients in each scan, CT technologists can change the image acquisition parameters. However, this reduces image quality. Present study aimed to optimize and reduce radiation dose in a CT of the paranasal si...
متن کاملRadiation dose in cardiac CT.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to familiarize the radiologist with radiation dose in cardiac CT imaging and explain the current methods for dose reduction. CONCLUSION Advances in CT technology have resulted in a significant increase in cardiac CT applications. It is imperative that the radiologist understand the resulting dose implication to the patient and actively engage in optima...
متن کاملCT Radiation Dose Optimization and Estimation: an Update for Radiologists
In keeping with the increasing utilization of CT examinations, the greater concern about radiation hazards from examinations has been addressed. In this regard, CT radiation dose optimization has been given a great deal of attention by radiologists, referring physicians, technologists, and physicists. Dose-saving strategies are continuously evolving in terms of imaging techniques as well as dos...
متن کاملRadiation dose-reduction strategies for neuroradiology CT protocols.
Within the past 2 decades, the number of CT examinations performed has increased almost 10-fold. This is in large part due to advances in multidetector-row CT technology, which now allows faster image acquisition and improved isotropic imaging. The increased use, along with multidetector technique, has led to a significantly increased radiation dose to the patient from CT studies. This places i...
