Computed tomography dose index and dose length product for cone‐beam CT: Monte Carlo simulations of a commercial system [PDF]
Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, 2011 Dosimetry in kilovoltage cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a challenge due to the limitation of physical measurements. To address this, we used a Monte Carlo (MC) method to estimate the CT dose index (CTDI) and the dose length product (DLP) for a commercial CBCT system.
