Excerpt

Radiologic technologists (RTs) can optimize radiation dose to achieve As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) exposures during scoliosis examinations by using objective body measures to optimize technical factors along with making use of digital denoising software. Al-Dasuqi et al. [1] show a clear improvement in follow-up examinations with this strategy over using technologist-selected technique or anatomically programmed radiography (APR) and physical anti-scatter grids. …
