Area of Science:

Medical Imaging Physics
Radiology Informatics

Background:

Patient overexposure to medical radiation necessitates improved CT dose monitoring.
Current methods for estimating whole-body effective dose from CT Dose Length Product (DLP) are challenged by multi-series examinations and inconsistent labeling.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an automated pipeline (RADIANCE) for extracting, archiving, and reporting CT-related radiation dose parameters.
To create an intelligent algorithm for parsing dose sheets to accurately separate total DLP into anatomic components for multi-series CT examinations.

Main Methods:

Developed RADIANCE, an automated pipeline for CT dose parameter management.
Designed an algorithm integrating departmental PACS data to match accession numbers with acquired series.
Anatomically matched individual series DLPs to appropriate CT examinations.

Main Results:

The algorithm successfully parses dose sheets for multi-series CT exams, separating total DLP into anatomic components.
Enables more accurate radiation dose analytics for improved patient safety.
Identified remaining instances where automatic sorting is not feasible, highlighting the need for standardization.

Conclusions:

Automated parsing of CT dose sheets improves the accuracy of radiation dose estimation.
Standardization of series and exam names is essential for unequivocal anatomical sorting and accurate whole-body effective dose calculation.
This approach enhances radiology patient care by ensuring precise radiation dose monitoring.
