SU‐FF‐I‐67: Converting CT Dose Length Product (DLP) to Kerma Area Product (KAP)

Medical Physics, 2009
Purpose: The amount of radiation that is incident on patients in CT is measured using the Dose Length Product (DLP mGy‐cm) which is not commensurate with the corresponding quantity currently used in radiography and fluoroscopy, namely the Kerma Area Product [KAP].

Software Development for Estimating the Conversion Factor (K-Factor) at Suitable Scan Areas, Relating the Dose Length Product to the Effective Dose

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2016
We developed a k-factor-creator software (kFC) that provides the k-factor for CT examination in an arbitrary scan area. It provides the k-factor from the effective dose and dose-length product by Imaging Performance Assessment of CT scanners and CT-EXPO.

[Evaluation and examination of accuracy for the conversion factors of effective dose per dose-length product].

Nihon Hoshasen Gijutsu Gakkai zasshi, 2013
The purpose of this paper is to reappraise the accuracy of a conversion coefficient (k) reported by International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 102 Table A.2. The effective doses of the routine head computed tomography (CT), the routine chest CT, the perfusion CT, and the coronary CT were evaluated using the conversion coefficient ...

Dose Length Products for the 10 Most Commonly Ordered CT Examinations in Adults: Analysis of Three Years of the ACR Dose Index Registry

Journal of the American College of Radiology, 2015
As CT use steadily rises, concern over potential risks of radiation exposure from medical imaging has received increasing attention. Since May 2011, the ACR Dose Index Registry (DIR) has been open for general participation and has been collecting CT radiation dose data from an increasing number of facilities of various types.

SU‐E‐I‐40: Effective Dose Normalized to Dose Length Product for Pediatric and Adult Reference Phantoms in Computed Tomography Examinations

Medical Physics, 2012
Purpose: To develop a set of conversion factors from dose length product (DLP) to effective dose (E) for pediatric and adult reference individuals undergoing computed tomography (CT) examinations. Methods: This study used 12 hybrid computational phantoms representing reference pediatric and adult individuals in compliance with the International ...

Comparison of Dose Length Product during 64 Detector And 256 Detector Cardiac Computed Tomography

2011
Purpose: Radiation dose during cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTCA) can be minimized by using a prospective gating (step and shoot) scan mode. There is little data comparing this scan mode between systems.
