«There is a need for consensus recommendations for ionizing radiation dose optimization and a regulation of dose metrics
across imaging procedures,» said lead author Kevin D. Hill, MD, Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Duke University Medical Center.
When the molecular
imaging research community improves image standardization, there is a greater likelihood of harmonization; i.e., that a specific
imaging procedure can be used as a marker
across clinical trials; not simply for one clinical trial.
