The optimization of radiation doses in radiological exams and the rational request has been a relevant focus for patient safety. International campaigns recommendations suggest the implementation of justification, optimization and training of health professionals as successful strategies for radiological protection. The innovation of this project was the use of protocols with integration of multi-specialty teams promoting greater safety for doctors and patients (multidisciplinary approach and patient-centered care). Radioprotection campaing. As low as reasonable as possible ALARA. Rationalize unjustified exams. OBJECTIVE:To implement radiation dose optimization and...

METHODOLOGY: This prospective quantitative educational study got Ethnical Committee approval and implemented the dose index registry (DIR ACR®) system, alignment and naming of tomography exams, protocol re-evaluation, personally training professional team, dose limits by Brazilian College of Radiology program (CBR), reduction in the number of CT phases, dose adjustment with quality measurements and validation by radiologists and medical physics. Choosing wisely recommendations were applied to the multi-professional staff. Exam request were reviewed before examination. Statistical monthly data analyses were done.40 technicians, 15 radiologists, 50 emergency...

DISCUSSION: Audit and justificationof exams contribute to personalized use and staff training;monitoring promote team improvement. Targeted protocols:improvement in patient quality and safety. Radiological examinations are safe to use. Use of protocols from Choosing WiselyRenables the strengthening of security and increased knowledge. Personally information plus virtual maintenanceenable doctors to be safe and adhere to the campaign. Benefits:Patients and referring physicians and institutions, consciously utilizing protocols from medical societies specializing in international consensus. Rationalizationof the use of emergency radiological examinations contributes to reduction patients radiation dose. CONCLUSION...
