Assessment of Pregnant Women's Knowledge and Perceptions of Antenatal Ultrasound in Saudi Arabia.

This study aims to evaluate pregnant women's knowledge of antenatal ultrasound in Saudi Arabia and its correlation with demographic factors like age and education to enhance prenatal care. A cross-sectional study was conducted in six Saudi Arabian hospitals, involving 22 questions split between sociodemographic information and knowledge of antenatal ultrasound. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the participants' demographics and responses.

The associated factors for radiation dose variation in cardiac CT angiography.

Objective:: This study aimed to examine the associated factors for dose variation and influence cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) dose benchmarks in current CT imaging centres.

Methods:: A questionnaire was distributed to CT centres across Australia and Saudi Arabia. All participating centres collected data for adults who underwent a CCTA procedure.

DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE LEVELS FOR CARDIAC CT ANGIOGRAPHY IN AUSTRALIA.

This study aims to assess patient radiation dose from cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) with the aim of proposing a national diagnostic reference levels (NDRLs) for CCTA procedures in Australia. A questionnaire was used to retrospectively gather baseline information related to CCTA scanning and patient parameters in CT centres across the country. The 75th percentile of both volumetric CT dose index (CTDIvol) and dose length-product (DLP) was used as DRL values for CCTA.

ESTABLISHING DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE LEVELS FOR CARDIAC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY IN SAUDI ARABIA.

Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a commonly used diagnostic imaging tool for cardiovascular disease. Despite constant improvements to imaging technologies, the radiation dose to patients remains a concern when using this procedure. Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are used as a trigger to identify and alert individual facilities that are using high doses during CT.

DIAGNOSTIC REFERENCE LEVELS IN CARDIAC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW.

Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a commonly used diagnostic tool for cardiovascular disease. Despite constant improvements to imaging technologies, the radiation dose to patients from CCTA remains a concern when using this procedure. There remains a need for optimisation of CCTA procedures and accurate dose monitoring to reduce the potential risk of cancer.
