Radiation Dose of Computed Tomography (CT)

  • The measure requires hospitals and output facilities that conduct Computed Tomography (CT) studies to assess the radiation dose associated with the most frequently conducted examination types – CT’s of the head, chest, abdomen/pelvis obtained in children and adults. The measure provides a simple framework for how facilities can assess their dose, a framework that currently does not exist. By assessing their doses, facilities can monitor the doses they use over time and compare their doses to benchmarks. The creation of benchmarks is not part of this measure per se.
