A new method for estimating patient body weight using CT dose modulation data

BACKGROUND: Body weight (BW) is a relevant metric in emergency care. However, visual/physical methods to estimate BW are unreliable. We have developed a method for estimating BW based on effective mAs (mAs(eff)) from computed tomography (CT) dose modulation. METHODS: The mAs(eff) of CT examinations...
