Establishment of baseline size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) for paediatric head computed tomography (CT) examinations

Abstract Background In recent times, size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) has been the ideal metric for accurate estimation of individual patient doses in computed tomography (CT) examinations. The objective of this study was to estimate patient radiation doses based on SSDE and the water-equivalent d...
