Individualized patient dosimetry and automatic image quality analysis as tools for dose reduction in CT imaging Ghent University
As opposed to conventional radiography, computed tomography provides 3D information of the anatomical structures and tissues of the patient, at a much better low-contrast performance. However, radiation doses associated with CT are up to 40 times higher compared to conventional X-ray examinations. In addition, the number of scans performed increases every year. Since a small but significant risk of radiation induced malignancies is ...
