Pulmonary Embolus - Is your Imaging EuroSafe? |
Introduction
"Is your Imaging EuroSafe?" comprises a series of monthly surveys on CT DRLs for different indications, which are being carried out by the EuroSafe Imaging campaign, coordinated by the European Society of Radiology.
The surveys focus on the assessment of the status quo in CT practice, with the ultimate aim of increasing awareness about radiation protection among medical professionals and establishing benchmarks.

The individual surveys on the different indications will be released monthly in the ESR News. It will take you 5-10 minutes to complete each survey.
This present survey focuses on Chest CT for Pulmonary Embolus. Later on, we will also publish surveys on a monthly basis on the following indications:
- CT head: acute stroke (published in November 2014), acute head trauma

This present survey focuses on Chest CT for Pulmonary Embolus. Later on, we will also publish surveys on a monthly basis on the following indications:
- CT head: acute stroke (published in November 2014), acute head trauma
- CT chest: rule out pulmonary metastases of extrathoracic cancer, HRCT for diffuse parenchymal disease
- CT abdomen: liver metastases, urinary calculus, appendicitis
- CT Colonography
- Cardiac CT: calcium coronary scoring
Each online survey will collect data on:
- Standard practice (use of protocols)
- Scanner specifications (year of (first) installation, brand, number of detector rows)
- Adult patient data on a specific disease (dose modulation, iterative reconstruction, CTDI vol, DLP, CTDI phantom size)
