Cover Story: This review focuses on radiological investigations and the consequent increase in radiation doses for intensive care unit (ICU) patients. This leads to significant concerns regarding the long-term risk of cancer, especially in vulnerable groups such as trauma patients. Our analysis extended to radiation safety thresholds, revealing that some ICU patients exceeded the diagnostic reference level. Key strategies for optimizing radiological practices include the implementation of ultra-low-dose CT protocols, especially in neuro-ICUs, and the direct measurement of skin doses. We emphasize the importance of a balanced approach to radiological imaging in ICUs, stressing the need to minimize radiation exposure while ensuring the continuity of high-quality medical care.
