A study to determine whether the volume-weighted computed tomography dose index gives reasonable estimates of organ doses for thai patients undergoing abdomen and pelvis computed tomography examinations

Journal of Medical Physics, 2017
Introduction: Values for the CTDIvol, which is displayed on scanner consoles, give doses relative to a phantom much larger than most Thai patients, and the CTDIvoldoes not take account of differences in patient size, which affect organ doses.

Split-bolus computed tomography urography (CTU) achieves more than half of radiation dose reduction in females and overweight patients than conventional single-bolus computed tomography urography

Translational Oncology, 2021
Objective: To compare radiation dose between single-bolus and split-bolus computed tomography urography (CTU). Materials and methods: We prospectively enrolled patients undergoing single-bolus and split-bolus CTU from 2019 June to 2020 June. The age, sex

Batch size estimate [PDF]

, 2022
In this work we analyze the main batch resolution algorithms. We particularly focus on the tree-based class to underline how their efficiency depends on the batch size.

Estimation of Peak Skin Dose and Its Relation to the Size-Specific Dose Estimate

, 2022
M.S.The study tests the concept that the size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) and the Computed Tomography Dose Index volume (CTDIvol) have a significant association with the peak skin dose (PSD).

Correlation between Body Mass Index and Radiation Dose Metrics in Adult Thorax and Abdomen Computed Tomography Examination: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
Introduction: Computed Tomography (CT) procedures contribute significantly to medical radiation exposure and therefore necessitate the implementation of optimisation measures that balance diagnostic image quality with patient safety. Body Mass Index (BMI)

Size- and Dose-Dependent Body-Wide Organ Transcriptomic Responses to Calcium Phosphate Nanomaterials

, 2023
Nanomaterials are widely used in clinical practice. There are potential risks of body-wide infiltration due to their small size; however, the body-wide reliable risk assessment of nanoparticle infiltration is not fully studied and established.

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...
