Size-Specific Dose Estimates of Radiation Based on Body Weight and Body Mass Index for Chest and Abdomen-Pelvic CTs

BACKGROUND: To correlate body weight, body mass index (BMI), and water-equivalent diameter (d(w)) and to assess size-specific dose estimates (SSDEs) based on body weight and BMI for chest and abdomen-pelvic CT examinations.
