Objectives

An attendee completing this course will be able to:

1. Select imaging protocols and tailor each examination based on the clinical question, with the goal of achieving high image quality and dose as low as possible, appreciating the tradeoffs between various technical parameters
2. Promote radiation dose optimization within any imaging environment, from small radiology department to large healthcare system
3. Implement best practices derived from organizations that have optimized radiation doses
4. Implement dose optimization strategies in specific areas of neuro- and abdomen imaging
5. Tailor examinations for special populations, including pregnant women, children, and small and large patients
6. Consider an individual patient’s imaging history in decisions around repeat imaging
7. Comply with current mandates established by The Joint Commission for radiation dose monitoring in CT
8. Use a clinical quality measure to drive quality improvement in pediatric CT
9. Analyze specific CT cases for insights to improve quality and reduce dose, identifying errors and solutions
10. Anticipate patients’ concerns around CT radiation and communicate about risk
11. Implement strategies for managing a large CT department
12. Improve communication between radiologists and technologists
13. Understand novel uses of AI in CT imaging to assess image quality and facilitate radiation dose reduction, among other use cases
