Automatic Exposure Control During Computed Tomography Scans of the Head: Effects on Dose and Image Quality
Automatic exposure control (AEC) is effective at reducing potentially harmful radiation doses without sacrificing image quality for many types of computed tomography (CT) scans. However, there is a need for more information regarding the use of AEC for CT head scans. This study was conducted at John...
