Is there Correlation between Measured and Console CTDIvol in Multislice CT Scanners?
Author(s): Allen Nathan Mhagama*
This study investigated the relationship between measured and console volume computed tomography dose
index (CTDIvol) in multislice CT scanners. The measured CTDI values were determined from kerma length
product measured using pencil ionization chamber inserted in the holes of standard CT phantoms with
diameters 16 and 32 cm, which respectively mimic adult head and body using the procedures recommended
by International Electro-technical Commission. Significantly large deviations were observed between the
measured and console CTDIvol values in multislice CT scanners... View More»
