The role of Size-Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE) in patient-specific organ dose and cancer risk estimation in paediatric chest and abdominopelvic CT examinations

Objectives To develop a clinically applicable method to estimate patient-specific organ and blood doses and lifetime attributable risks (LAR) from paediatric torso CT examinations. Methods Individualized voxel models were created from full-body CT data of 10 paediatric patients (2–18 years). Patient...
