Attenuation‐based size metric for estimating organ dose to patients undergoing tube current modulated CT exams

PURPOSE: Task Group 204 introduced effective diameter (ED) as the patient size metric used to correlate size‐specific‐dose‐estimates. However, this size metric fails to account for patient attenuation properties and has been suggested to be replaced by an attenuation‐based size metric, water equival...
