Clinical Radiology has launched a podcast on the importance of dose reduction in CT. It can be downloaded for free.
In the podcast, Dr. Mark Kon speaks with Dr. Carl Roobottom and Robert Loader at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, U.K. They talk about scanner hardware and software factors and discuss the limitations of reporting CT dose length product (DLP) for the individual and for the department.
They also consider the role that all radiologists play in justifying the right protocols to answer the clinical question, with specific reference to 80 KV scanning and potential for saving on contrast volume.
