      abstract = {Monitoring radiation doses from diagnostic Computed  Tomography (CT) examinations is essential to maintaining  patient safety and ensuring that technologists are using  optimal scan parameters. To receive accreditation from The  Joint Commission, facilities are required to track  incidents where radiation dose indices from CT exams exceed  their expected dose index; however, there is no universal  definition as to what constitutes an expected dose index.  This research focuses on creating a standard of practice  for setting CT dose thresholds that maximize the  sensitivity and specificity of tracking, ensuring  appropriate patient safety without creating an excessive  number of false-positive notifications.},
