In this episode of Frame by Frame, host Chris St. John welcomes Dr. Kalpana Kanal, a diagnostic medical physicist specializing in CT imaging and radiation safety. Dr. Kanal shares her journey from pure physics to medical imaging, highlighting her pivotal role in establishing diagnostic reference levels for adult and pediatric CT scans.
She discusses the impact of the ACR Dose Index Registry (DIR) in standardizing radiation dose management across healthcare facilities and the importance of balancing dose reduction with maintaining high-quality diagnostic images.
Dr. Kanal also delves into her groundbreaking work in forensic CT imaging, where advanced technology is used to determine causes of death without the need for invasive autopsies — addressing both practical and emotional challenges for families.
As a trustee of the American Board of Radiology and former chair of the ACR’s CT Dose Index Registry, Dr. Kanal has significantly contributed to improving radiation safety nationwide. Her insights offer valuable guidance for facilities looking to optimize their imaging protocols while ensuring patient care and safety.
