BMI-calculated doses, which are often lower than strictly weight-based doses, can be administered while maintaining acquisition times. This dose reduction is not only consistent with the as-low-as-reasonably-achievable principle but can be performed without diminishing diagnostic accuracy and should lead to lower dose to staff and potential economic savings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
