Clinical Auditing of CT Request Forms Seen in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital

Abstract Introduction: Computed Tomography (CT) uses a high radiation dose compared to conventional X-ray; therefore, justification for every investigation is necessary to prevent unnecessary scans and exposure to radiation. Moreover, a properly filled CT scan form will enable medical imaging decisions to be made. It will also serve as a basis for justification of the investigation required and a valuable medico-legal document.
