In the initial installment of this 3-part article, we reviewed the role and logistics of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Dose Index Registry (DIR). In this second installment, we review the essential components of ACR DIR and describe how users can interpret their biannual dose reports by benchmarking them against regional or national levels. Understanding these reports can help participating institutions to identify specific protocols or practices that may benefit from changes in order to minimize patient dose while maintaining diagnostic quality examinations.
在这篇分三部分的文章的第一部分中，我们回顾了美国放射学会（ACR）剂量指数登记处（DIR）的作用和运作情况。在第二部分中，我们将回顾ACR DIR的基本组成部分，并描述用户如何通过将其半年期剂量报告与区域或国家水平进行对比来解读这些报告。理解这些报告有助于参与的机构识别出可能受益于变革的特定方案或做法，以便在保持诊断质量检查的同时将患者剂量降至最低。
