Optimization of Parameters in 16-slice CT-‌‌scan Protocols for Reduction of the Absorbed Dose

Introduction In computed tomography (CT) technology, an optimal radiation dose can be achieved via changing radiation parameters such as mA, pitch factor, rotation time and tube voltage (kVp) for diagnostic images. Materials and Methods In this study, the brain, abdomen, and thorax scaning was perfo...
