ABSTRACT
Diagnostic radiology is a quickly growing field that has seen a wealth of technological developments in recent decades. These developments, driven largely by the proliferation of digital detectors and increase in computational power, have led to a great increase in the utility, and subsequently the use, of ionizing radiation for diagnostic purposes in modern medicine. This is most evident when viewing the growth of computed tomography (CT), which has seen a 20 -fold and 12 -fold increase in the United States and the United Kingdom, respectively, over the past two decades [1].
