In this work we investigated the dose in the eyes of 25 pediatric patients, from 0 to 3 years, submitted to CT head exam, using TLD dosimeters inside a tube set perpendicularly to the orbito-meatal baseline. The results shown that the absorbed eyes dose varied from 63.0 to 94.6 mGy with an average uncertainty of 28 %. These results confirm the findings of similar studies considering the differences of protocols and scanner design.
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.
