Why quality registries?
To empower facilities and
physicians to monitor and improve quality, and to do so
easily and correctly.

Do registries work?
There is evidence of data-driven
improvement in performance from:
Medicine in general, outside radiology
Recent ACR registries

Why a Dose Index Registry? CT scans contribute 25% of radiation dose in the US.

What is the national average level
of radiation administered by
imaging facilities for a CT of the head?
WE DON’T KNOW

What is the Dose Index Registry?
A tool to enable facilities to
optimize protocols,
implement standards and
contribute to the development of
reference levels.

ACR Dose Index Registry
• Component of the National Radiology Data Registry
• Launched in May 2011
• Collects and compares dose index information across facilities
• Fully automated; Uses standard methods of data collection and processing (DICOM SR, IHE REM Profile, RadLex)
• Establishes national benchmarks and practice patterns in dose indices
![Page 14: Requirements for Reporting Radiation Dose The ACR Perspectiveamos3.aapm.org/abstracts/pdf/77-22650-312436-91742.pdf · Raff GL, Chinnaiyan KM, Share DA, et al., “Radiation Dose](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050505/5f96be63405ead516f38b599/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

DIR supports all aspects of the quality
monitoring process • Standardization: Use of
– industry standards
– clearly specified data dictionaries
• Automation: Data collection from a variety of platforms
– with minimal effort for facilities
– high accuracy
• Feedback and benchmarks:
– Easy to understand customizable reports

How does the Dose Index Registry work?
![Page 16: Requirements for Reporting Radiation Dose The ACR Perspectiveamos3.aapm.org/abstracts/pdf/77-22650-312436-91742.pdf · Raff GL, Chinnaiyan KM, Share DA, et al., “Radiation Dose](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050505/5f96be63405ead516f38b599/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Challenges and Solutions
• Comparability – Procedure name standardization
– Patient size adjustment
• Ability to capture data from new and old scanners – DICOM structured report for new scanners
– OCR on dose screen for old scanners
![Page 17: Requirements for Reporting Radiation Dose The ACR Perspectiveamos3.aapm.org/abstracts/pdf/77-22650-312436-91742.pdf · Raff GL, Chinnaiyan KM, Share DA, et al., “Radiation Dose](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050505/5f96be63405ead516f38b599/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Mapping Exam Names Procedure Name Standardization
• Exam names mapped to Radlex Playbook – http://playbook.radlex.org
• ACR used external vendor, RadMapps, to map all exam names currently in the registry – ~ 21,000 unique exam names
• New facilities may choose to use third party tool or may use mapping tool on website. Suggested tags are provided if an exam name is already in the database.

Size-Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE) • DIR allows sites to submit localizer images along with Dose
Report
• Algorithm developed by Duke physicists will measure patient thickness from localizer

Size Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE) Patient Size Adjustment
Measure patient thickness (from AP or lateral image or average of the two)
Calculate effective diameter
Determine normalized dose conversion factor using effective diameter and phantom size (AAPM TG204)
Apply conversion factor to CTDIvol to get SSDE
