That’s the right link – search the webpage for “excessive” and you’ll see that it’s included there.

Since it seems that the decision will be made based on volume of comments as much as content, the number of signatories might not matter and it might be better to have each organization send its own. Best regards, Doug Douglas Pfeiffer, MS,

AAPM will submit a letter to CMS supporting the HOPPS proposal to make the quality measure voluntary indefinitely. The letter AAPM is submitting has got support from ACR, ASRT and few other organizations who have agreed to sign on.

I’m confused. If the comment period is open until 9/15, why is a decision being announced now? I’m all in favor of the decision, it just seems odd to make it before the comment period closes.

It sounds like CMS weighs all submissions equally, so one comment from an organization like ACR or AAPM holds the same weight in their eyes as one comment from a UCSF co-worker responding to a Smith-Bindman email request.

All – Jerry rightly pointed out that my email gave the appearance of my supporting the UCSF initiative to change the proposed rule and require mandatory reporting of CT dose and image quality. I absolutely do not condone the UCSF efforts at all.
The information sent from Adam Springer is what I am in favor of. Comments supporting the proposed rule for voluntary reporting need to be submitted by those who are technically qualified to provide solid reasoning as to why mandatory reporting of these CT metrics is flawed.

The goal is to overwhelm with volume. There are four days remaining in the comment period. Please submit a statment!!

I thought this email thread might be of interest to some members of the list. Dr. Smith-Bindman is a substantial part of the driving force behind the CMS requirement for CT effective dose reporting. The ALARA company -- I believe run by her husband -- is the "Free solution" being pushed on many smaller hospitals. Personally, her standance in this area causes me great concern, as I feel it should be to others in our field. I have no idea what the "end goal" of her push is -- but it is most likely not without substantial financial gain on her part, rather than a "true" concern about the potential cancer risk from CT.

Dear Colleagues,
I’m reaching out for your help on an incredibly important issue to me and millions of patients nationwide. We’re in the final days of a campaign to tell Washington: make CT safer. Your past support has been very meaningful and I hope you'll once again lend your voice to protect patients.
A new federal rule would make CT imaging less safe, causing 25,000 preventable cancers each year.<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/secure-web.cisco.com/1WjP0oPeh2BJqJ5J9XTtH5wZsC-VAKjHx_I3wOg1I66-YBkczuklQ_OToy1wJYz-QfWHafKEXVyD5eX1nJX1geSC1hl0T7VWF-brIcKISL_gaKUPZJVJAWnJt3mnJIAr3oIwnFU3HDhebC2NUXq3KElu37w5ywwCpJmCc8Hr-3kcRfCF3__Eic1RJ_PlDY45qeYmrnv3GsfPct1wVZwlypS_Dio9nCzYaBFVkurPNMaWTS3mUNWRKp85gYmH_6sC87Ii6Fr2nU6BNCmF6LSHmH1C7MKGGyjAZLWpaiIZmtQFueimL5PZbN-Q2NExWsxAGdxBpNv-I9YupHXyMNQYh3Q/https*3A*2F*2Furldefense.com*2Fv3*2F__https*3A*2F*2Fsecure-web.cisco.com*2F1dOmmAQHEPqj3Ym9Cbx_aWTvuSyJpx70EIVAORHyTH4Trh58Qas80lkgPdxJqXmAvCfV5qk-3ouISnQjGxMaNW5c5JHYw5MxXDIl5iU64U-ISTbDDv5DTzQaKJ_RWZng34mEllhTbAxxmwLGI7NHJinUIxbGACvveKeaxsJJYcnEynAoGzeLLVS3BH7lCwaulaZGW8z0uuARH3l6YljCEy-uOYrg8G2g7idKhf6TyY8R8nzFewt7TI1SgYlvzNMzaby4rryHnuqoGmAOXuCfwLgiu51ri2WNVZLwJoFln0WmWn6VwN8oQu8bNFHiLFpdK*2Fhttps*2A3A*2A2F*2A2Furldefense.com*2A2Fv3*2A2F__https*2A3A*2A2F*2A2Fucsf.quorum.us*2A2Fcampaign*2A2Fmake_CT_safer*2A2F__*2A3B*2A21*2A21KGKeukY*2A21z2kAh_kQJGWn1FW2P63hUmckhurynjKuRjYiF7FlrEGUa0wkvyeQg9u5kJT_XOjA_AvDkZeeEfwIPAgY1HjEkhp-hKxDL_zu7UERob1TDx31PRQ*2A24__*3BJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJQ*21*21KGKeukY*21yGKHnwn5GsTiwNY24Hh05sAFz3w6CmCuZowpbpxGpxrRt7PZcfZUZrs7NduLlsRDx1BaWfpGbZUZPoE76pDC77_OXvObQE42GRnSnDTsdka7OA*24__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJQ!!KGKeukY!wLyu6xWFMohyY1OukI_HG4wIv8esAvccOZnrHARz9Gf_YqrlfKg5o8ENFtVic7yFJX77ovSMF0l8dzG7sB54ZSF1SHY8cPmtUo_QvFRpiqewkg$>

The Excessive Radiation Dose quality measure is the only safeguard ensuring hospitals use safe radiation doses. To protect patients and make CT imaging safer, it must remain mandatory under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
The time to act is short—the public comment period closes Monday, September 15, 2025.
It takes 30 seconds and every voice counts.

Subject: URGENT: Help Protect a Cancer-Reducing Safeguard in Hospitals
Dear Colleagues,
I hope this finds you well and having a nice summer. As participants in our Virtual Symposium on CT, I know you care deeply about patient health and safety, I’m asking if you would take action to oppose new federal rules that would make CT imaging less safe by weakening requirements for hospitals to report their CT radiation data.
Currently, a mandatory measure is in place for hospitals that monitors the amount of radiation used during CT scans, ensuring doses remain within safe limits. However, CMS announced a proposal that would make reporting CT radiation data optional for hospitals. If this change goes into effect, hospital radiation monitoring will become ineffective. Patients will be exposed to unnecessarily high radiation, andthousands of preventable cancers will occur<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/secure-web.cisco.com/1M64aAhw18KQadm4IZRKqsH71CxwmQnNYDRdGvLxypsavFHKLh-_186MDxgN9t4yPNSC80-eRUjugY0GMKyXXk97UClglHtV1tnuZn0HS1AwCtNNOTRgKPdnu7_Iytg2na2xBR99Jxk0-_I1CKqinrxcQ9u-IMR0q9PRxTRGAfMZ11nNaT4b2xyy_bnMfy2pzivmtMjnCp9vaEJqKi83RKNzXs9DYGB2ZpDhfOlwIE6OonriHdYIocXxV7w_C9Bqli46Aqc4M8etimCy_LnpmGvEcqvytSDdK0dTrV_Ign8HFfCXpsnbCKoIvf-6N3ddgKIlbimprbioYm_DeQKR0vQ/https*3A*2F*2Furldefense.com*2Fv3*2F__https*3A*2F*2Fsecure-web.cisco.com*2F1dv86z054EgSfJBXp_2sq1CXrfjZFPKwwIXLeTzjdovArt_dPLb_6FgZwTifZHjxVt47za4KuApoTeU399BI0sxPh-wY5k9rnO2ZckCUaaMqu7cc0jYiHo0sinzx72dxrGNRBpUY7ZhJVrpSD7N1YJf0W-frWHIF6BWbVD2TFug3K5jRaN6EGFQBgMAiTykEwTxY66bDgAewY3rBRFjcTgrR1JHsVm4lDDTgqKR7yWWKOJwnz__zCS2ZXX8HhDsjKdHNUHOO20nFv7CCNIpieAznqlf8P9sX2Kiw4kZmTVDqGzaB-io_oawVZXyjfOyci*2Fhttps*2A3A*2A2F*2A2Furldefense.com*2A2Fv3*2A2F__https*2A3A*2A2F*2A2Fjamanetwork.com*2A2Fjournals*2A2Fjamainternalmedicine*2A2Ffullarticle*2A2F2832778__*2A3B*2A21*2A21KGKeukY*2A21z2kAh_kQJGWn1FW2P63hUmckhurynjKuRjYiF7FlrEGUa0wkvyeQg9u5kJT_XOjA_AvDkZeeEfwIPAgY1HjEkhp-hKxDL_zu7UERob1TAQLOl68*2A24__*3BJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSU*21*21KGKeukY*21yGKHnwn5GsTiwNY24Hh05sAFz3w6CmCuZowpbpxGpxrRt7PZcfZUZrs7NduLlsRDx1BaWfpGbZUZPoE76pDC77_OXvObQE42GRnSnDQfWZ33dA*24__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSU!!KGKeukY!wLyu6xWFMohyY1OukI_HG4wIv8esAvccOZnrHARz9Gf_YqrlfKg5o8ENFtVic7yFJX77ovSMF0l8dzG7sB54ZSF1SHY8cPmtUo_QvFRX5MyBdg$>.
