Radiation exposure in multiple hereditary exostoses: A retrospective review

Reduced dose helical CT scout imaging on next generation wide volume CT system decreases scan length and overall radiation exposure

“…Over 300 million CT examinations are performed worldwide each year, with CT examinations accounting for the primary source of medical radiation exposure [1] , [2] . Ionizing radiation from CT examinations is a concern due to malignancy risk [3] , [4] . CT acquisition range parameters are set by radiographers, based on landmarks from anterior-posterior and lateral scout images.…”
