The current radiation dose estimates used in medical imaging, radiation oncology or environmental assessments are not entirely accurate from a fundamental physics perspective, let alone for biological consequences. The "one cloth fits all" approach of radiation-matter interactions cannot assess the effects of interactions of the same species of radiation of different energies on the same isotope of an element. Preliminary steps to set the radiation dosimetry in the right direction are suggested.

- A standardized method for reformatting CT brain images was established using an anatomical reference line to improve imaging consistency.
- After educational interventions for CT technologists, 200 CT brain examinations were compared (100 preintervention and 100 postintervention) to assess improvements.
- While there was a slight reduction in angle differences and fewer studies without reformatted images, the overall changes were not statistically significant, possibly due to the high workload at the busy care center.
