Dose reduction in clinical practice refers to efforts made to minimize the amount of radiation or contrast material administered to patients during medical imaging procedures, such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans. This is done to reduce the potential risks associated with radiation exposure, such as cancer or other long-term health effects. Dose reduction techniques may involve using lower radiation levels, optimizing imaging protocols, and utilizing advanced technologies to improve image quality while using less radiation. Research in this area aims to develop and evaluate strategies and technologies that can effectively reduce radiation exposure without compromising diagnostic accuracy or image quality.
