Objective:
Recent well-publicized sentinel events have resulted in an appropriately heightened awareness of CT dose. Concern also exists regarding the potential of CT dose increasing the risk of cancer. Several professional societies, governmental and accreditation agencies, and CT vendors have responded to these concerns with campaigns, mandatory standards, and software enhancements. The objective of this article is to review such CT dose management efforts.
Conclusion:
Although CT dose awareness campaigns, mandatory standards, and software enhancements are well intentioned, their implementation is often suboptimal.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
