The proportion of computed tomography kidneys, ureters and bladder (CTKUB) scans that comply with scan extent protocol in an emergency department: a clinical audit and dose ramification study

Abstract

Over-scanning is a predominant occurrence in CTKUB scans in this department. Reasons for over-scanning weren't investigated. It's anticipated this audit will lead to greater awareness of scan extent compliance and dose ramifications of non-compliance. The usage of more easily identified anatomical landmarks and a follow-up audit is suggested.
