Radiation Dose Management Market Overview

In the last two decades, radiation exposure to patients has increased significantly. This will be attributed to the growing use of radiological procedures like CT, fluoroscopy, and interventional imaging procedures, including a rise within the radiation doses utilized in these procedures. In diagnostic imaging modalities, higher tube currents are used for obese patients to enhance image quality. Due to this, the danger of radiation overexposure for obese patients is high. Earlier, dose management wasn't among the main concerns for the medical profession, as their main focus was on image quality (with overexposure providing better images). As a result, the radiation doses utilized in procedures gradually increased. This increased the danger of radiation overexposure among patients.

There aren't any defined standards by governments for radiation dose benchmarking across all radiology procedures. With the shortage of standardized protocols, dose management software can't be fully utilized to realize dose reduction. Since 2011, the American College of Radiology has been trying to line benchmarks for CT procedures at the national level through DIR; however, benchmarking must be conducted for all imaging modalities across the world.

There need to be standardized protocols for all examination types, imaging modalities, and patients of all sizes and age groups, at a worldwide level. the supply of comprehensive benchmarking parameters and defined procedures would enable individual practices to watch dose indices and compare standard dose reduction practices followed by similar healthcare provider facilities at the regional, state, national, or global levels.
