Study: Training, audits will keep reins on CR/DR radiation dose
By Wayne Forrest
Adequate training of radiographers (radiologic technologists) and patient dose audits are the most effective ways to keep radiation dose as low as possible when converting from film-screen radiography to computed and digital radiography (CR/DR), according to researchers from Spain. The group was successful in addressing "dose creep" after an initial period in which radiation dose grew following the implementation of CR.

Strategies for reducing 'dose creep' in digital x-ray
Digital x-ray imaging affords many benefits over film-based imaging, including the potential for significant reduction in patient radiation exposure. But a phenomenon known as "dose creep" has developed as technologists inadvertently increase dose to avoid the appearance of noise in underexposed images. Researchers and manufacturers have been working to implement preventive measures to address dose creep.
