Using body mass index to estimate individualised patient radiation dose in abdominal computed tomography

Abstract Background The size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a dose-related metrics that incorporates patient size into its calculation. It is usually derived from the volume computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) by applying a conversion factor determined from manually measured anteroposterior a...
