Journals/Publications

  • Thompson, C. M., Yanof, J. H., Wiegert, J., Bullen, J., Obuchowski, N., Yaddanapudi, K., & Halliburton, S. S. (2020). 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 info
    Estimates 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.
