  • Title: Organ equivalent doses of patients undergoing chest computed tomography: measurements with TL dosimeters in an anthropomorphic phantom.
    Author: Gonzaga NB, Mourão AP, Magalhães MJ, da Silva TA.
    Journal: Appl Radiat Isot; 2014 Jan; 83 Pt C():242-4. PubMed ID: 23972586.
    Abstract:
    Dose reduction in patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) examinations has become a concern in many countries. CT dosimetric quantities were defined aiming optimization of CT procedures, organ absorbed doses and effective doses have been calculated for radiation risk assessments in patients. In this work, an experimental methodology was established for measuring organ doses with thermoluminescent (TL) dosimeters in an anthropomorphic phantom for routine CT chest examinations. Results may be useful for validating computational software used for CT dose calculations.
