摘要：
Computed tomography (CT) represents one of the largest sources of radiation exposure to the public in the United States. Regulatory requirements now mandate dose tracking for all exams and investigation of dose events that exceed set dose thresholds. Radiology practices are tasked with ensuring quality control and optimizing patient CT exam doses while maintaining diagnostic efficacy. Meeting regulatory requirements necessitates the development of an effective quality program in CT. This review provides a template for accreditation compliant quality control and CT dose optimization. The following paper summarizes a large health system approach for establishing a quality program in CT and discusses successes, challenges, and future needs. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc.
