The computed tomography dose index (CTDI) and dose–length product (DLP) are critical for monitoring and optimizing radiation doses. CTDI estimates the dose per slice, whereas DLP calculates the total dose across the scanned area. These measures enhance consistency in dose assessments, make comparisons easier, and assist in keeping doses within regulatory limits. This article explores the functions of CTDI and DLP in CT imaging, focusing on their importance in dosage optimization and patient safety. Understanding and monitoring this information allows healthcare professionals to strike a compromise between high-quality imaging and reduced radiation exposure, assuring patient care and regulatory compliance.
