To CT or Not to CT, That is The Question

Stealing a bit from Bill Shakespeare, this is a daily and possibly the most important question we grapple with on a daily basis. But unlike, the Melancholy Dane the question we struggle with is the incredible diagnostic power or a CT vs. the possible downsides.  This podcast aims to look at the CT question through the old standard- the lens of risks and benefits and hopefully will give you a framework for how to think about this famous question.
