Abstract:
Objective To estimate the effective dose during 64-slice CT examination on head,chest and abdomen and determine the conversion coefficient of effective dose and dose length product(DLP).Methods The plain CT scan wag performed in 48 cases on head,50 cases on chest and 45 cages on abdomen using GE Lightspeed 64-slice spiral CT.1The Kv,Ma,scan time,CTDIvol,and DLP were recorded in each examination.Effective dose on patients Was estimated using the SR 250 software.Results The effective dose on head,chest and abdomen was(3.1±0.1),(6.9±0.1)and(8.0±0.1)mSv,and the conversion Coeffieient was 0.0025,0.0191 and 0.0166 mSv·mGy-1·cm-1 respectively.Conclusion CTDIvol、DLP and effective dose were recommended for patient dose control during CT examination.The conversion factor of effective dose and DLP were recommended for radiation risk evaluation during different X-ray examinations.
