Radioprotection / Radiation dose, CT, Radiation safety, Education and training
The variability in justification practices, lack of communication between the referral physicians and radiologists, and inconsistent protocol adjustments suggest opportunities for improvement. Increased awareness, targeted training, and institutional policies can help reinforce appropriate imaging selection and dose optimization, ensuring the implementation of the principles of justification and optimization. Collaborative efforts at regional and international levels are essential to ensure that radioprotection principles are effectively implemented, ultimately improving patient care and reducing unnecessary radiation exposure.
