Christopher Moore, MD
Dr. Moore is an Emergency Physician with a research interest in emergency room diagnostic testing, particularly ultrasound and computed tomography. Dr. Moore established and validated the STONE score, a clinical prediction rule for suspected renal colic patients. Currently, Dr. Moore is funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to disseminate the appropriate use of reduced-dose CT scan protocols in renal colic. DOSE (Dose Optimization for Stone Evaluation) is an education dissemination project providing facilities information on consistent reduced radiation dose CT for suspected renal colic patients.
