Estimating radiation effective doses from whole body computed tomography scans based on U.S. soldier patient height and weight

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to explore how a patient's height and weight can be used to predict the effective dose to a reference phantom with similar height and weight from a chest abdomen pelvis computed tomography scan when machine-based parameters are unknown. Since machine-bas...
