Abstract

The current medical scenario in diagnostic imaging is characterized by an extremely frequent use of computed tomography, which becomes the main source of medical exposure. The radiation dose depends on patient's characteristics, anatomical districts, and diseases under investigation; the first two parameters cannot be modified; the correct application of specific protocols for the disease under investigation, helps improve both standardization and dose reduction. This perfectly fits with the ALARA principles (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) according to which patients must be exposed to the right dose of radiation, which, in turn, must be as low as possibly achievable. To support the radiologists in the daily clinical practice and to standardize the exposure of patients, the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM), through his specific subcommittee, has created this position paper.

病理CT采集方案，SIRM立场文件第1部分：头颈部，脑和脊柱，胸部，心血管。

目前的医疗场景诊断成像的特点是极其频繁地使用计算机断层扫描，它成为医疗暴露的主要来源。辐射剂量取决于患者的特征、解剖区域和所调查的疾病；前两个参数不能修改；正确应用正在调查的疾病的特定方案，有助于提高标准化和减少剂量。这完全符合ALARA原则（尽可能低），根据该原则，患者必须接受适当剂量的辐射，而辐射剂量又必须尽可能低。为了支持放射科医生的日常临床实践，并使患者的暴露标准化，意大利医学和介入放射学会（SIRM）通过其专门的小组委员会制定了本立场文件。

期刊介绍： Felice Perussia founded La radiologia medica in 1914. It is a peer-reviewed journal and serves as the official journal of the Italian Society of Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM). The primary purpose of the journal is to disseminate information related to Radiology, especially advancements in diagnostic imaging and related disciplines. La radiologia medica welcomes original research on both fundamental and clinical aspects of modern radiology, with a particular focus on diagnostic and interventional imaging techniques. It also covers topics such as radiotherapy, nuclear medicine, radiobiology, health physics, and artificial intelligence in the context of clinical implications. The journal includes various types of contributions such as original articles, review articles, editorials, short reports, and letters to the editor. With an esteemed Editorial Board and a selection of insightful reports, the journal is an indispensable resource for radiologists and professionals in related fields. Ultimately, La radiologia medica aims to serve as a platform for international collaboration and knowledge sharing within the radiological community.
