Dependence of Water-equivalent Diameter and Size-specific Dose Estimates on CT Tube Potential

Background The size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a patient-focused CT dose metric. However, published size-dependent conversion factors ( ) used to calculate SSDE were determined primarily by using phantoms; only eight to 15 patient data sets were used, all at 120 kV. Purpose To determine the ef...
