Size specific dose estimate (SSDE) for estimating patient dose from CT used in myocardial perfusion SPECT/CT [PDF]
Asia Oceania Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Biology, 2020 Objective(s): Size specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a new parameter that includes patient size factor in its calculation. Recent studies have produced mixed results on the utility of SSDE, especially when automatic exposure control (AEC) was used.
