A pilot study of patient-specific cardiovascular MDCT dose maps and their utility in estimating patient-specific organ and effective doses in obese patients. Journal of cardiovascular computed tomography, 10(3), 265-8.More infoEstimates of effective dose (E) for cardiovascular CT are obtained from a scanner-provided dose metric, the dose-length product (DLP), and a conversion factor. These estimates may not adequately represent the risk of a specific scan to obese adults.
