A Review of Organ Dose Calculation Tools for Patients Undergoing Computed Tomography Scans

Background: Computed tomography (CT) is one of the crucial diagnostic tools in modern medicine. However, careful monitoring radiation dose for CT patients essential since procedure involves ionizing radiation, a known carcinogen.Materials and Methods: The most desirable descriptor risk analysis organ absorbed dose. A variety calculators currently available were reviewed this article.Results Discussion: Key common elements included discussed compared, such as computational human phantoms, scanner models, database, effective calculation methods, tube current modulation modeling, user interface platforms.Conclusion: It envisioned that more research needs to be conducted accurately map coverage on automatically segment organs tissues patient-specific calculations, estimate cone beam computed process during image-guided therapy.
