Expanding the Concept of Diagnostic Reference Levels to Noise and Dose Reference Levels in CT

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2019
OBJECTIVE. Diagnostic reference levels were developed as guidance for radiation dose in medical imaging and, by inference, diagnostic quality. The objective of this work was to expand the concept of diagnostic reference levels to explicitly include noise of CT examinations to simultaneously target both dose and quality through corresponding reference ...
