“A busy practice with diverse CT technology and remote scanner locations encounters challenges in assessing institutional performance in lowering radiation doses,” said researcher Dr. Yasir Andrabi, from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH; Boston, MA, USA). “Software-based dose monitoring simplifies the complex and essential quality and safety assurance with CT scanning irrespective of the scanner location.”

Dr. Andrabi presented his study’s findings at the 2014 American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) annual meeting held in San Diego (CA, USA), May 4–9, 2014.
