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 …

Abstract Background Dual energy CT (DECT) has proven its potential in oncological
imaging. Considering the repeated follow-up examinations, radiation dose should not …

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 …

Abstract Purpose Calculation of the Size Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE) requires accurate
delineation of the skin boundary of patient CT slices. The AAPM recommendation for SSDE …

Objective To assess the diagnostic performance and reader confidence in determining the
resectability of pancreatic cancer at computed tomography (CT) using a new deep learning …

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 …

Volume averaged CT dose index (CTDI vol) is an important dose index utilized for CT
dosimetry. Measurements of CTDI vol are performed in reference cylindrical phantoms of …

Background. To correlate body weight, body mass index (BMI), and water‐equivalent
diameter (dw) and to assess size‐specific dose estimates (SSDEs) based on body weight …

Purpose In the setting of thorax Computed Tomography (CT), the main purpose of this work
is to quantify differences in Size-Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE), calculated on the basis of …

Purpose To examine the impact of patient size on dose indices and develop size-based
reference levels (50th and 75th percentiles) for 20 body CT exams for routine and organ …
