Radiation Dose Reduction Strategies: Investigate Techniques and Technologies Aimed at Reducing Radiation Exposure to Patients and Healthcare Workers during Diagnostic Imaging

Abstract

Accurate disease diagnosis and better patient care are crucial, and medical imaging has shown to be incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. In preventative medicine, curative care, and palliative care, its application is essential at all levels of healthcare. However, because ionizing radiation is linked to cancer risk, its usage in medical imaging should adhere to safety guidelines and be optimized as a result. In addition to exploring methods and tools targeted at lowering radiation exposure to patients and medical personnel during diagnostic imaging, this project intends to address the problem of radiation dose optimization in diagnostic radiology.
