Observer Performance in Computed Tomography Head Reporting

Template-Driven Computed Tomography Radiation Dose Reporting

Comparison of computed tomography dose reporting software.

Computed tomography (CT) dose reporting software facilitates the estimation of doses to patients undergoing CT examinations. In this study, comparison of three software packages, i.e. CT-Expo (version 1.5, Medizinische Hochschule, Hannover, Germany), ImPACT CT Patients Dosimetry Calculator (version 0.99×, Imaging Performance Assessment on Computed Tomography, www.impactscan.org) and WinDose (ve...

Computed Tomography utilization in minor head injury

Results Of the 132 cases referred for CT brain, 109 had a GCS score of less than 13 on initial evaluation. Among 109 cases with MHI, 90 were males and 64 (58.7%) were in the age group of 14-44 years. 78 cases were Road Traffic Accident victims, 17 were assaulted and 14 had history of fall. Twenty six (23.9%) had abnormal CT findings. Skull fracture was the commonest finding (19,17.4%), followed...

Reporting findings in the cone beam computed tomography volume.

The use of cone beam CT (CBCT) is common among dentists and dental specialists in North America and the world. The regions of interest captured by these machines vary in size and applications are numerous. If using the image data from this modality, clinicians are obligated to examine the entire volume and to understand and recognize all the anatomy in the head and neck region that can be portr...

Development of Computed Tomography Head and Body Phantom for Organ Dosimetry

Introduction: Quality assurance in Computed tomography (CT) centers in developing countries are largely hindered by the unavailability of CT phantoms. The development of a local CT phantom for the measurement of organ radiation absorbed dose is therefore requisite. Material and Methods: Local CT phantoms were designed to meet the standard criteria of 32 cm diameter for body, 16 cm diameter for...
