Abstract
Patient understanding and cooperation is essential for accurate diagnosis in CT imaging. The current model of patient education prior to CT imaging involves a brief verbal explanation of the exam. This may cause suboptimal image quality due to failure to follow instructions stemmed from anxiety/confusion. Suboptimal imaging could negatively impact radiological findings and cause extra radiation exposure to patients. In turn, this could lead to decreased patient satisfaction. Research shows accessible patient-friendly material can reinforce patient knowledge, gain cooperation and alleviate fears (Blanck & Marshall, 2011).
