CT is an invaluable tool in diagnosis of disease & has been demonstrated to improve patient outcomes.
If you have questions about this topic, please discuss with your doctor or reach out to your favorite medical physicist (which may or may not be me π).

First post on the new app!!
Do any of my #MedPhys colleagues have animation/video of a radiation therapy treatment plan (even just a few seconds) that they would be willing to let me use as part of the new NCRP website? (Stock footage has not been helpful here.)
