Patient effective dose estimation for routine computed tomography examinations in Iran
Background: The present study intended to determine and report patient effective dose on the basis of patients and exposure data. Materials and methods: A nationwide computed tomography (CT) survey was provided as a report of patient doses in 2015-2016. Scan details were collected for nearly 2,000 adults and children in four age groups subjected to CT examinations. From total 565 CT scanners in...
متن کاملFetus Dose Estimation in Computed Tomography Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) procedures constitute the 5% of the total diagnostic radiology and provide more than the 40% of the total dose. Patient dose depends on many factors; most of them depend on the way the procedure is performed. All around the world, there is a growing interest in studying patient dose in CT procedures in order to optimize them. If the patient is pregnant, conceptus absorb...
متن کاملEffect 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 کاملEstimating the Radiation-Induced Cancer Risks in Pediatric Computed Tomography
Introduction One of the central questions in radiological protection is the magnitude of the risks from low doses of radiation, related to the justification and optimization of the diagnostic medical exposures. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the cancer incidence and mortality risks in children of different ages, sizes, and ethnicities undergoing computed tomography examination...
متن کاملEffective dose range for dental cone beam computed tomography scanners.
OBJECTIVE To estimate the absorbed organ dose and effective dose for a wide range of cone beam computed tomography scanners, using different exposure protocols and geometries. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two Alderson Radiation Therapy anthropomorphic phantoms were loaded with LiF detectors (TLD-100 and TLD-100 H) which were evenly distributed throughout the head and neck, covering all radiosensitiv...
