Dose reduction evaluation in radiosensitive tissues for head CT scans using two phantoms and bismuth eye shielding

Computed tomography is the imaging technique that most contributes to increasing the population average dose. Head scanning protocols have a very high dose in patients due to the small thicknesses of the slice for 3D image reconstruction. In this sense, radiosensitive tissues, such as the eye lense...
