Conversion factors for estimation of effective dose in paediatric chest tomosynthesis

Article 2013 EN

For chest tomosynthesis in adults, a conversion factor of 0.26 mSv/Gy cm² has been reported for calculating the effective dose from the registered dose-area-product. The aim of this study was to determine conversion factors for chest tomosynthesis in children. Using the Monte Carlo-based computer software PCXMC 2.0, simulations were performed on modified phantoms for males and females aged 8-19 y,…
