Proposal and validation of weighting factors for the weighted computed tomography dose index in dual-energy computed tomography

Journal of Radiological Protection
Abstract This study aimed to propose and validate optimal weighting factors for weighted computed tomography dose index (CTDI w ) in dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) to improve average dose estimation in the central cross-sectional plane of a CTDI phantom. CTDI

Dose Reduction by Body Mass Index: Different Protocol in low-Dose Chest Computed tomography

Indian Journal of Public Health Research & Development, 2018
We investigated the effects of exposure involving reduction of automatic exposure control value based on body mass index and image quality using the AAPM phantom in low-dose computed tomography (CT). The study was carried out on subclinical, normal persons without lung diseases among students in a single university.

Estimation of adaptive computed tomography dose index based on body weight in pediatric patients

Radiation Medicine, 2008
The aim of this study was to create an adaptive computed tomography dose index (by volume) (CTDI vol) for pediatric patients that would be fitted to a patient's particular body weight and to compare the adaptive CTDI vol with the CTDI vol displayed on the screen of the CT console.CT images of 60 children whose body weights were known were available for

Monte Carlo Simulation of the Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) Using GATE

Physics of Particles and Nuclei Letters, 2020
This work relates to the study and characterization of the CTDI (Computed Tomography Dose Index) for the 16 slices CT scanner. The CTDI has been simulated with the Monte Carlo code GATE for PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) digital phantoms of various diameters (1–50 cm) at various kVp (80, 110, 130) and mAs (100, 200, 300, 400 mAs) levels.

[Determination of computer tomography dose index by means of ion chamber measurements].

La Radiologia medica, 1995
The effective dose (ED) and the organ dose given with Computer Tomography (CT) scanners can be determined by means of a computing method suggested by the English National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB). This method uses the integral air-dose profile as input.
