Key Words	Ionizing radiation; Exposure; Tomography; Physicians; Knowledge; Awareness
Core Tip	Total exposure to ionizing radiation has nearly doubled in the last two decades. This increase is primarily due to increased computed tomography (CT) exposure. Preventing unnecessary examinations becomes critical. We developed an online questionnaire about clinicians' awareness of radiation and their reasons for requesting a CT. The most common reasons for CT scan requests were work load, fear of malpractice, and patient demand/insist. CT scan requests are influenced by a variety of factors. Raising awareness of radiation and reducing fear of malpractice by limiting number of patients per physician may result in a reduction in unnecessary CT and radiation exposure.
