Evaluation of Direct Chest Circumference Measurement as an Efficient Tool in the Reduction of Radiation Dose in Multi-Slice Computerized Tomography of Chest- A Suggestion for Radiographers
Abstract:Non-contrast computerized tomography (NCCT) is in rampant use in daily practice for the diagnosis of various chest diseases. In the era of COVID-19 pandemic, the use of chest NCCT has increased many fold. The reason was because it will resolve many issues and quick diagnosis can be made. The same was also required to see the behavior of the disease as well as in the follow-up. Basically two parameter are in use to described the amount of radiation dose received by the patient in volumetric CT. These are, one i… Show more
