Decoding dose descriptors for computed tomography

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: doses.These doses should not be used to estimate radiation risks associated with CT scanning.The DRLs should not be used for optimizing radiation doses on a per-patient basis, because they do not account for variations in patient size or scanner-specific attributes. Practical applicationsDespite their limitations, CT radiation dose descriptors are powerful tools in radiation dose optimization.
