SU-FF-I-28: A Critical Look at the Numerical Coefficients in CTDIVOL

Medical Physics, 2006
Purpose: To critically examine the assumptions leading to the formula for CTDIVOL, which uses measured CTDI values at the center and periphery to estimate the overall average dose to a homogeneous cylindrical phantom. Method and Materials: CTDIVOL is a widely used figure of merit that estimates the average dose delivered by a CT scan to standard ...

SU‐FF‐I‐36: Comparison of Vendor Estimated CTDIvol and Physicist Calculated CTDIvol

Medical Physics, 2009
Purpose: To determine if CT unit's estimated CTDIvol is statistically similar to values obtained using conventional medical physics testing and instrumentation. The ACR calculation spreadsheet was used to calculate the CTDIvol for each unit tested. Method and Materials: Exposure measurements were obtained from the center and 12 o'clock position for ...

Modelling variations in CTDIvol data due to patient miscentring in Bayer Radimetrics™ data

Physica Medica, 2016
It has previously been established that incorrect centring of patients in CT imaging, identified as a significant difference between the patient centroid and CT scanner isocentre, may lead to poorly optimised operation of the automatic exposure control (AEC).

SU‐G‐206‐11: The Effect of Table Height On CTDIvol and SSDE in CT Scanning: A Phantom Study

Medical Physics, 2016
Purpose:Localizer projection radiographs acquired prior to CT scans are used to estimate patient size, affecting the function of Automatic Tube Current Modulation (ATCM) and calculation of the Size Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE). Due to geometric effects, the projected patient size varies with scanner table height and with the orientation of the ...

Reducing CT radiation dose with iterative reconstruction algorithms: The influence of scan and reconstruction parameters on image quality and CTDIvol

European Journal of Radiology, 2014
OBJECTIVES In this phantom CT study, we investigated whether images reconstructed using filtered back projection (FBP) and iterative reconstruction (IR) with reduced tube voltage and current have equivalent quality. We evaluated the effects of different acquisition and reconstruction parameter settings on image quality and radiation doses. Additionally,

ESTIMASI NILAI DOSIS PADA PEMERIKSAAN CT SCAN KEPALA DEWASA BERDASARKAN NILAI CTDIvol DAN DLP

JRI (Jurnal Radiografer Indonesia), 2022
ABSTRACT   Background: Estimating the exact dose in CT Scan patients can be done by referring to an optimization index called DRL (Diagnostic Reference Level). Currently, the DRL for CT-Scans is expressed in CTDIvol (Computed Tomography Dose Index Volume) and DLP (Dose Length Product).

Pathology-based radiation dose in computed tomography: investigation of the effect of lung lesions on water-equivalent diameter, CTDIVol and SSDE in COVID-19 patients

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2023
Abstract Lung lesions can increase the CT number and affect the water-equivalent diameter (Dw), Dw-based conversion factor (CFw), and Dw-based size-specific dose estimate (SSDEw). We evaluated the effect of COVID-19 lesions and total severity score (TSS) on radiation dose considering the effect of automatic tube current modulation (ATCM)

Eye lens dose distribution in neonatal head CT: an analysis of the scanning conditions and CTDIvol limitations

Radiation Protection Dosimetry
Abstract Despite neonatal radiosensitivity, accurate lens dose assessments in computed tomography (CT) are lacking. We assessed the neonatal head CT eye lens dose under various scanning conditions, including vertical table displacement and organ-based exposure modulation (OEM), using the GAFCHROMIC LD-V1 (LD-V1), which can measure two-

SU-C-12A-02: CTDIvol Variability in Tube-Current Modulated Body CT: The Role of Patient Diameter

Medical Physics, 2014
Purpose: Researchers have used the large variability in CTDIvol as an example of inconsistent and inappropriate protocols for CT imaging. However, CTDIvol variability can exist for many sound reasons pertaining to protocol needs (slice thickness, etc.) or patient size.
