"Comparison of organ and effective dose estimations from different Mont" by Michael Lawson, Kemal Berk et al.
Purpose: Computational dosimetry software is routinely used to evaluate the organ and effective doses from computed tomography (CT) examinations. Studies have shown a significant variation in dose estimates between software in adult cohorts, and few studies have evaluated software for pediatric dose estimates. This study aims to compare the primary organ and effective doses estimated by four commercially available CT dosimetry software to thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) measurements in a 1-year-old phantom. Methods: One hundred fifteen calibrated LiF (Mg, Cu, P)-TLD 100-H chips were embedded...
