The impact of patient table on size-specific dose estimate (SSDE)
Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine, 2017The use of parameters water equivalent diameter (D W ) and size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) are becoming increasingly established as a recognised method to relate patient dose from a CT examination to the dose indicator volume CT dose index (CTDIVOL).

THE SIZE-SPECIFIC DOSE ESTIMATE (SSDE) FOR TRUNCATED COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IMAGES
Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2017The purpose of this study is to investigate truncated axial computed tomography (CT) images in the clinical environment and to produce correction factors for abdomen, thoracic and head regions based on clinical data, in order to accurately predict the water-equivalent diameter (DW) and size-specific dose estimate (SSDE). We investigated axial images of

Simplifying Size-Specific Radiation Dose Estimates in Pediatric CT
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2015Size-specific dose estimates (SSDEs) require manual measurement of torso diameters for individual patients--anteroposterior (hereafter, D(AP)), lateral (hereafter, D(LAT)), and effective (hereafter, D(E))--which can be tedious in clinical settings. We aimed to determine whether body weight can be used as a surrogate for measuring diameter in children.D(

The aim of this study was to evaluate the point doses using a distribution of the size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) from axial CT images of in-house phantoms having diameters from 8 to 40 cm. In-house phantoms made of polyester-resin (PESR) mixed with methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) were used.

The purpose of this study is to show how to calculate effective dose in CT using size-specific dose estimates and to correct the current method using dose-length product (DLP).Data were analyzed from 352 chest and 241 abdominopelvic CT images. Size-specific dose estimate was used as a surrogate for organ dose in the chest and abdominopelvic regions ...

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a widely used diagnostic tool, but concerns about radiation exposure necessitate accurate dose estimation. This study investigates the correlation between Effective Dose (ED) and Size-Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE) estimated from the patient's body mass index (BMI) in CTA to evaluate the utility of SSDE-BMI as a ...

Size specific dose estimation in pediatric CT: preliminary study and conversion factors.
Radiation Protection DosimetryAbstract The objective of this paper is to compare the differences between volumetric CT dose index (CTDIVOL) and size-specific dose estimate (SSDEWED) based on water equivalent diameter (WED) in radiation dose measurement, and explore a new method for fast calculation of SSDEWED.
