Radiation dose assessment of pediatric computed tomography of the chest: the need to consider patient size

To evaluate the radiation dose of chest computed tomography (CT) examinations of pediatric patients and the extent to which volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) underestimates radiation dose in comparison to size specific dose estimates (SSDE). Single-center, retrospective study of consecutive unenhanced...
