CT scan is a revolutionized diagnostic imaging modality that allows threedimensional visualization of a region of the body in different planes. Besides its advantages, CT has disadvantages as well. The radiations used in CT scans are ionizing X-ray radiations which increase the risk of cancer progression. The rate of unnecessary CT scans has increased over the past few years which has resulted in increased exposure to the patient and increased healthcare cost as well. The aim of this study was to determine the actual rate of unnecessary CT scans in a tertiary care hospital of our country. The study was conducted on 385 patients in the Aziz Bhatti Shaheed Teaching Hospital, Gujrat in time duration of three months. It was an observational cross-sectional study. Scoring of the results was done by the co-supervisor having an experience of over 15 years. The scoring system was categorized from score 0 to score 2.Score 0 had no pathological finding, score 1 had suspicious finding and score 2 had confirmed pathological finding mentioned in the request form. A total of 385 patients were included in this research 162 females (42.1%) and 223 males(57.9%) with a mean age of 38.2±22.5-year (1-100 years).In this study 147 patients(38.2%) were categorized underscore 0 they were having no pathological finding and their results were normal,25 patients(6.5%) were categorized underscore 1 they had suspicious findings and were considered for follow up scan and the remaining 213(55.3%) patients were categorized underscore 2 they had confirmed pathology. Results concluded that the rate of unnecessary CT scans performed in this country is 38.2% which is considerably high. Unnecessary CT scans can lead to the risk of developing contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) due to radiation exposure. The high cost of this test may cause a delay in the treatment of the patients.
