Advanced imaging techniques play a pivotal role in oncology. A large variety of computed tomography (CT) scanners, scan protocols, and acquisition have led to wide range image quality radiation exposure. This study aims at implementing verifiable oncological by assurance optimization (i-Violin) through harmonizing dose across Europe.
