In this course, we dispel long-standing misconceptions surrounding protective devices, starting with the revelation that aprons are not patient placebos. Dr. Wagner will guide you through a deep exploration of the intricacies of pediatric considerations, ensuring you gain the expertise to provide safe and compassionate care to our youngest patients. Discover how CDIT, often misunderstood, impacts patient dose and acquire the knowledge needed to optimize your approach.

You will master the art of estimating dose with precision. We will also address common misunderstandings about lowering dose, equipping you with strategies to reduce radiation exposure without compromising image quality.

Through lecture and interactive discussion you will gain the confidence to implement evidence-based practices in your workplace. Join us on this educational journey and unlock your full potential as a CT safety expert.
