摘要
Size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) index appears to be more suitable than the commonly used volume computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) to estimate the dose delivered to the patient during a computed tomography (CT) scan. We evaluated whether an SSDEBMI can be determined from the patient's body mass index (BMI) with sufficient reliability in the case that a SSDE is not given by the CT scanner. For each of the three most used examination types, CT examinations of 50 female and 50 male patients were analyzed. The SSDE values automatically provided by the scanner were compared with SSDEBMI determined from CTDIvol and BMI. A good accordance of SSDEBMI and SSDE was found for the chest and abdominal regions. A low correlation was observed for the head region. The presented method is a simple and practically useful surrogate approach for the chest and abdominal regions but not for the head.
