Effect of Phantom Size and Tube Voltage on the Size-Conversion Factor for Patient Dose Estimation in Computed Tomography Examinations
Introduction: This study aimed to establish the conversion factors to normalize the output dose of volumetric computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) to the patient dose (i.e. size-specific dose estimate (SSDE)) for various phantom diameters and tube voltages. Material and Methods: In-house cylindrical acrylic phantoms with physical diameter...
متن کاملPatient-Specific Radiation Dose and Cancer Risk in Computed Tomography Examinations in Ondo, Nigeria
Introduction: The dose in computed tomography (CT) often approach or exceed the optimum levels, thereby increasing the probability of cancer induction. With wide application of this diagnostic test, it is expedient to determine the effective dose (ED) for each patient to estimate their cancer risk. This study was conducted to investigate the patient-specific dose (PSD) and cancer risk in CT exa...
متن کاملPatient dose and image quality in computed tomography.
The relation between radiation dose in neurologic computed tomography scanning and image quality is described. Three different sets of images were obtained at varying exposures and were quantitatively evaluated by a panel of neuroradiologists. Anatomic information in the image varied with exposure. The relation of image quality and dose conforms to previous theoretical results and suggests that...
متن کاملmatlab-based software for size-specific dose estimation (ssde) in computed tomography examinations
primary and widely in use computed tomography (ct) dose descriptor is a volumetric ct dose index (ctdiv) that is usually measured by a pencil ionization chamber with active length of 100mm and polymethyl methacrylate (pmma) phantom. ctdiv depends on scan parameters such as mas, kv, collimation, tube rotation time but is independent of patient’s size and shape. for the purpose of a good estimati...
