Original: UC emergency physicians safely eliminate thousands of unnecessary CT scans
Emergency physicians at the University of Cincinnati report that they have safely eliminated thousands of unnecessary CT scans from their emergency department practice. The effort reflects a broader push in medicine to reduce patients' exposure to radiation and lower costs by avoiding imaging that does not change treatment decisions, with the reductions made without compromising patient safety.
Why now: Reducing unnecessary medical imaging is a growing priority in healthcare as hospitals seek to cut radiation exposure and costs.
