Radiation Dose Reduction to Breast and Thyroid During MDCT: Effectiveness of an In-Plane Bismuth Shield

Purpose: To evaluate dose reduction and image deterioration using in-plane bismuth breast-shielding and thyroid-shielding for MDCT. Material and Methods: Skin and organ doses of thyroid and breast were measured with thermoluminescent dosimeters in a female Alderson-Rando Phantom with and without a 4...
