Assesment of patient doses and possible approaches for implementation of optimization procedures in PET/CT examinations in the Russian Federation

Abstract
A dose survey of positron emission tomography (PET) examinations was performed in 12 regions of the Russian Federation, where the effective dose values were assessed for the various types of PET examinations. The comparison to similar published data show that the patient doses in Russia are higher than in other countries. Low-dose CT protocols and justification of multiphase CT protocols should be considered for future optimization and radiation protection of patients.
