Size specific dose estimate (SSDE) for estimating patient dose from CT used in myocardial perfusion SPECT/CT
Objective(s): Size specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a new parameter that includes patient size factor in its calculation. Recent studies have produced mixed results on the utility of SSDE, especially when automatic exposure control (AEC) was used. The objective of the study was to find out if there is a relationship between patient size and each of the parameters, SSDE...
متن کاملApplication of Dose-Area Product compared with three other dosimetric quantities used to estimate patient effective dose in diagnostic radiology
Background: Application of Dose-area product (DAP) quantity has been increased in the clinical practice. DAP is relatively easy to measure. DAP has been shown to correlate well with the total energy imparted to the patient, which is related to the effective dose. Material and Methods: In this study, measurements of DAP were carried out in a sample of 421 adult patients who underwent convention...
متن کاملCardiac-Specific Conversion Factors to Estimate Radiation Effective Dose From Dose-Length Product in Computed Tomography.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine updated conversion factors (k-factors) that would enable accurate estimation of radiation effective dose (ED) for coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and calcium scoring performed on 12 contemporary scanner models and current clinical cardiac protocols and to compare these methods to the standard chest k-factor of 0.014 mSv·mGy-1cm-1. BACKG...
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...
متن کاملMeasurement of Entrance Skin Dose and Effective Dose in The most Common Diagnostic radiology Examinations in Jiroft, Iran
Introduction: Medical uses of radiation have grown very rapidly over in the past two decades, medical uses represent the largest source of exposure to people, The most important methods in medical diagnosis are the useses of diagnostic radiology exams. Although the use of these methods is very beneficial for the treatment of patients, but ionizing radiation produces ion pairs, ...
