Background and aimNon-contrast computed tomography of kidneys, ureters, and bladder (CT KUB) is the gold standard radiological imaging for nephrolithiasis. It significantly contributes to the total radiation exposure of a population. This is well known to be linked to increased cancer risk over time and as such should be minimized in line with Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations (IR{ME}R). Previous works have explored a number of avenues to reduce the total radiation exposure such as the cranial extent of the scan; however, at present, there are no formalized guidelines. This study aimed to compare the cranial extent of local CT KUB imaging with previously established thresholds and assess whether total radiation can be reduced through local intervention.ResultsIn the first cycle, a total of 102 non-contrast CT KUB scans were included. Of these, 51% (n=52) commenced from the superior border of the T10-T12 vertebral levels, 48% (n=49) commenced above the T10 vertebral level, and only 1% (n=1) started below the T12 vertebral level.In the second cycle, a total of 105 non-contrast CT KUB scans were assessed. Of these, 21.9% (n=23) commenced above the T10 vertebral level, and 75.2% (n=79) commenced from the superior border of T10-T12 vertebrae. A further 2.9% (n=3) commenced below T12 vertebral level. The findings of this study demonstrate that starting the upper extent of the CT KUB at the T10 vertebral level showed a reduction in radiation dose in millisievert (mSv) delivered to patients while maintaining adequate diagnostic utility.ConclusionLimiting the cranial extent of CT KUB imaging to T10 has consistently captured the upper pole of both kidneys across different patient cohorts, including ours, thus making it an effective way of limiting radiation exposure without sacrificing diagnostic accuracy. In order to achieve robust evidence-based guidelines, further studies would be beneficial.

The Cheetah Action Plan for Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary in Madhya Pradesh involves analyzing the lineage of cheetahs, relocating leopards, and increasing prey animals to create a suitable habitat for the introduction of cheetahs.

Spread across 2,500 sq. km landscape straddling Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, the Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary's mix of grasslands, dry deciduous forests, and riverine evergreen patches is meant to offer an ideal habitat for the cheetahs to thrive.
