Clinical indication-based justification and optimization are key components of radiation protection of patients, ensuring that CT scans are performed only when necessary and with the lowest possible radiation dose [1]. However, implementation of these practices varies across regions and institutions. In this study, we aimed to evaluate justification and optimization practices for CT scanning in a multicenter and multinational setting, identifying gaps and areas for improvement.
