Abstract: In medical facilities, pre-shielding calculations are essential when introducing new X-ray equipment to protect the staff from radiation. For computed tomography (CT), the dose length product (DLP) method is commonly used for shielding calculations. This… read more here.

Abstract: We developed a k-factor-creator software (kFC) that provides the k-factor for CT examination in an arbitrary scan area. It provides the k-factor from the effective dose and dose-length product by Imaging Performance Assessment of CT… read more here.
