Our facility previously implemented a Quality Improvement (QI) project that improved patient centering accuracy via an educational presentation. This research focuses on a more personalized approach to improving CT technologist centering performance using a technologist-focused performance review method. 000008083 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008083 650__ $$aMethods$$022159 000008083 650__ $$aRadiation Dosage$$025068 000008083 650__ $$aQuality Improvement$$039456 000008083 650__ $$aTomography, X-Ray Computed$$027158 000008083 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008083 692__ $$aDepartment of Diagnostic Radiology$$041407 000008083 7001_ $$aMehlberg, Aaron$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008083 7201_ $$aDeWeese, Lindsay$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000008083 8564_ $$950f335d5-10dd-4001-aaa3-11ad44cf06ae$$s886133$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8083/files/Mehlberg.Aaron.2020.pdf$$ePublic$$2d0d282f1315b4f4bef9aa50423dca184$$31 000008083 905__ $$a/rest/prod/b2/77/3w/21/b2773w21t 000008083 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8083$$pstudent-work 000008083 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
