CT Dose Optimisation & Protocol Review
CTDIvol and DLP monitoring, size-specific dose estimates and protocol optimisation for ALARA compliance.
CT delivers the highest patient doses in diagnostic imaging, and default manufacturer protocols are rarely optimised for the patients actually being scanned. We review your protocol library against diagnostic reference levels and reduce dose without losing the diagnostic information the radiologist needs.
What you receive
- CTDIvol and DLP audit across your protocol library
- Size-Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE) calculation for representative patient groups
- Comparison against national and international diagnostic reference levels
- Protocol-by-protocol optimisation recommendations with image quality verification
- Paediatric protocol review and weight-banded protocol development
- Iterative reconstruction and automatic exposure control parameter review
- Dose tracking platform integration and configuration support
- Radiographer briefing on the optimised protocol set
Performed against
- AAPM CT dose reporting methodology
- ACR CT accreditation requirements
- IAEA diagnostic reference level guidance
- ALARA principles
