Development Of An Automatic Calculation Method For Ct Dose Estimation Based On Individual Specific Size In Paediatric Population

The current dose estimation based on CTDIvol in paediatric CT leads to significant inaccuracies in dose estimation due to inadequate size consideration. Size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) was employed to correct the effect resulting from the use of current CT protocols and minimise the radiation dos...

A retrospective survey was conducted to investigate CT protocols and associated dose (CTDIvol), patient size (manual measured Deff and Dw) and SSDE of paediatric patients undergoing head and abdomen CT scans. An automated calculation algorithm was developed on MATLAB platform for patient size measurement (Deff) and SSDE calculation. Numerical data analysed were scan parameters, estimated doses (CTDIvol and SSDE), manual and automated Deff estimates of patient size. Scan parameters and dose (CTDIvol) were compared with diagnostic reference ranges (DRLs) while automated SSDE calculator was validated with the manual size measurement and SSDE calculation.
