Comparison between measured and calculated equivalent doses in CT using anthropomorphic pediatric phantoms
(2015) 12th International Conference on Medical Physics in the Baltic States In Medical Physics in the Baltic States p.96-99- Abstract
- Due to the significant increase in pediatric trunk computed tomography (CT) examinations, there is a need for a reliable approach of conducting effective
dose estimate for such procedures. The current study is based on two dosimetric anthropomorphic phantoms representing a 1-year and a 5-year old child. Effective
and equivalent tissue doses from CT examinations of the trunk were determined by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) and the CT-Expo software. The results of the two investigated methods show good agreement.
