| Summary: | This paper presents results from study on patient exposure level in chest CT
examinations. CT scanners used in this study were various Siemens and General
Electric (GE) models. Data on patient doses were collected for adult and
pediatric patients. Doses measured for adult patients were lower then those
determined as Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRL) for Europe, while doses for
pediatric patients were similar to those found in published data. As for the
manufactures, slightly higher doses were measured on GE devices, both for
adult and pediatric patients. |
