In 1998, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) warned that computed tomography (CT) doses were high, and the frequency of usage was likely to increase in view of spiral CT technology that enhances patient convenience and provides high-quality diagnostic information. Two ICRP publications (Publications 87 and 102) have provided patient dose management recommendations while reviewing the technology and results of optimisations to date, and stimulated interest in patient dose management. The International Atomic Energy Agency, on the other hand, has been instrumental in assessing the state of practice at grassroots level, identifying lacunae in justification and optimisation, providing guidance to counterparts in various countries, and improving practice. The results from approximately 50 less-resourced countries for adult and paediatric CT studies have become available, and some have been published. The concerted efforts and actions by these two international organisations have contributed to better awareness and improvement of patient protection in CT in adults and children in many countries.
1998年，国际放射防护委员会（ICRP）警告称，计算机断层扫描（CT）剂量很高，鉴于螺旋CT技术提高了患者的便利性并提供了高质量的诊断信息，其使用频率可能会增加。ICRP的两份出版物（第87号和第102号出版物）在回顾迄今为止的技术和优化结果时提供了患者剂量管理建议，并激发了对患者剂量管理的兴趣。另一方面，国际原子能机构在评估基层实践状况、找出正当性和优化方面的不足、为各国同行提供指导以及改进实践方面发挥了重要作用。大约50个资源较少国家的成人和儿科CT研究结果已经可得，其中一些已经发表。这两个国际组织的共同努力和行动有助于许多国家提高对成人和儿童CT中患者保护的认识并加以改进。
