Enhancing Patient Safety in Computed Tomography: A Joint Symposium Overview

On May 12, 2011, the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) and the Spanish Society of Medical Physics (SEFM) jointly hosted their first symposium in Sevilla, Spain, focusing on patient safety in computed tomography (CT). With expert moderators Anthony Seibert and Jose Hernandez-Armas leading discussions, the event covered critical topics: CT patient risk, rising radiation doses from medical X-rays, advancements in CT technology to mitigate risks, and reforms in CT dose reporting. Engaging public discussions followed each session, culminating in a comprehensive review of radiation exposure statistics.
