Radiation Dose for Body CT Protocols: Variability of Scanners at One Institution

The objective of our study was to determine, using an anthropomorphic phantom, whether patients are subject to variable radiation doses based on scanner assignment for common body CT studies. Twenty metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor dosimeters were placed in a medium-sized anthropomo...
