Presently, the scanning start angle of the X-ray tube of X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanners cannot be controlled. As a result, there is room for reducing patient dose because the peaks of the dose distributions may overlap during multiphasic ...
This study sought to optimise the swallowing computed tomography (SCT) scan protocol for use with the new wide-area detector-row CT (ADCT) scanner and to estimate patient dose in terms of the organ-absorbed dose and the effective dose. The convent...
The present study aimed to propose local diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) formulated by calculating entrance surface doses for general radiography at 20 facilities of Aichi prefecture in Japan, by comparing these values with DRLs established in ...

The use of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) is currently recommended, and dose evaluation is considered to be important for establishing a Japanese radiological protection system in radiological medicine. Children, in particular, are sensitive t...
