The European Society of Radiology (ESR) EuroSafe Imaging initiative is inviting participation in an online questionnaire about the clinical use of radiation dose monitoring software in CT.

The purpose of the survey is to gather information about the use of dose monitoring software among European ESR members. This information will help EuroSafe Imaging estimate whether these software offerings are helpful for improving clinical CT practice by reducing radiation dose, the ESR said.

The society is requesting participants complete the questionnaire by 25 February, as it plans to present preliminary results at the upcoming ECR 2018 in Vienna.

In vascular abdominal emergencies, patient status can degenerate quickly, so time is of the essence. CT is pivotal for fast and appropriate triage of patients and selection of the best treatment strategy. But what if the really important signs and symptoms are small and hidden? New technologies are helping to provide the answers.
