Patients that receive a computed tomography scan can track their cumulative health care-related radiation exposure with the help of Valkyrie. Valkyrie is a computer-based system that can automatically track patient-specific radiation dose exposure.
“The purpose of the computer-based system, called Valkyrie, is to extract the radiation dose information from CT dose reports so as to eventually perform automated quality control, promote radiation safety awareness, and provide a longitudinal record of patient health care-related radiation exposure,” said George Shih, MD, lead author of the study.
During the study, performed at Weill Cornell Medical …
