As the utilization of medical imaging services continues to expand, so does the delivery of ionizing radiation. Although recent efforts within the medical imaging community have begun to focus on radiation dose reduction for computed tomography, very few objective data related to radiation dose are currently being prospectively collected, tracked, or analyzed. Without a comprehensive program aimed at objective and reproducible radiation data analysis, ongoing efforts at dose optimization will, in all likelihood, remain marginalized. The proposed radiation scorecard provides an analysis of events within the imaging chain, attempts to involve all stakeholders, and addresses the various technologies being utilized. The combined data can in turn be used for education and training, certification, research, development of best practice guidelines, and new technology development.
随着医学影像服务的使用持续增加，电离辐射的剂量也在上升。尽管医学影像领域近期已开始关注计算机断层扫描的辐射剂量降低问题，但目前前瞻性收集、跟踪或分析的与辐射剂量相关的客观数据却非常少。如果没有一个旨在进行客观且可重复的辐射数据分析的综合计划，剂量优化方面正在进行的努力很可能仍会被边缘化。拟议的辐射计分卡对影像链中的事件进行分析，试图让所有利益相关者参与进来，并涉及正在使用的各种技术。这些综合数据反过来可用于教育与培训、认证、研究、最佳实践指南的制定以及新技术开发。
