Using body mass index to estimate individualised patient radiation dose in abdominal computed tomography

BACKGROUND: The size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a dose-related metrics that incorporates patient size into its calculation. It is usually derived from the volume computed tomography dose index (CTDI(vol)) by applying a conversion factor determined from manually measured anteroposterior and lat...
