Effect of continuous professional development and clinical imaging guidelines on reducing inappropriate computerized tomography utilization among children and young patients in low resource settings: a before-and-after study
The study highlights the challenges of consistently implementing CIGs in LRS, despite some improvements. It calls for more tailored interventions and further research to explore factors influencing guideline adoption to optimize CT utilization and improve patient outcomes.
