Volume computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP) values
are frequently used to represent radiation doses from a CT scan. The limitation of CTDIvol …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of vertical centering on
dose and image noise in chest MDCT of different-sized patients using anthropomorphic …

The purpose of this study is to accurately and effectively automate the calculation of the
water‐equivalent diameter () from 3D CT images for estimating the size‐specific dose. is the …

The actual dose received during a computed tomography (CT) examination depends on
both the patient size and the radiation output of the scanner. To represent the actual patient …

Purpose To develop software to automatically calculate size-specific dose estimates
(SSDEs) and to assess the effect of variations in water-equivalent diameter (D w) along the z …

Abstract Purpose To confirm AAPM Reports 204/220 and provide data for the future
expansion of these reports by:(a) presenting the first large‐scale confirmation of the reports …

Purpose: To estimate attenuation using cross sectional CT images and scanned projection
radiograph (SPR) images in a series of thorax and abdomen phantoms. Methods …

Purpose The aim of this study is to propose an algorithm for the automated calculation of
water‐equivalent diameter (Dw) and size‐specific dose estimation (SSDE) from clinical …

The purpose of this study is to automatically calculate and then investigate the size-specific
dose estimate (SSDE) in thoracic and head CT examinations undertaken using standard …

Rationale and objectives This study aimed to compare the volume computed tomography
