Detection of unwarranted CT radiation exposure from patient and imaging protocol meta-data using regularized regression

ConclusionThe study developed and tested a novel, automated method for processing CT scanner meta-data to identify CT exams where patients received an unwarranted amount of radiation. Radiation safety and protocol review committees may use this technique to uncover systemic issues and reduce future incidents.
