Development of a Specialised Tape Measure to Estimate the Size-Specific dose Estimate.
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2020 The risk in computed tomography (CT) examinations is radiation exposure. We aimed to develop a specialised tape measure for determining the size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) for patients undergoing CT scans.

The comparison of size-specific dose estimate in CT examination based on head and body PMMA phantom [PDF]
Journal of Physics and Its Applications, 2018 Nowadays, a dose estimate for individual patients undergoing CT examination is carried out using the metric of size-specific dose estimate (SSDE), which is calculated by multiplying a volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) and a correction factor that is a ...

ACCURACY OF SIZE-SPECIFIC DOSE ESTIMATE CALCULATION FROM CENTER SLICE IN COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY [PDF]
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2018 To evaluate the accuracy of size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) calculation from center slice with water-equivalent diameter (Dw) and effective diameter (Deff). A total of 1812 CT exams (1583 adult and 229 pediatric) were included in this retrospective study. Dw and Deff were automatically calculated for all slices of each scan.

DEVELOPMENT OF RADIATION DOSE CALCULATION SOFTWARE USING THE SIZE-SPECIFIC DOSE ESTIMATE
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2018 We aimed to develop a software for facilitating absorbed dose per pixel (pixel dose) calculation using a size-specific dose estimate (SSDE). We calculated the pixel dose at nine equal points inserted into the radiophotoluminescence glass dosemeter (RPLD)
