Reducing Radiation Dose in Emergency CT Scans While Maintaining Equal Image Quality: Just a Promise or Reality for Severely Injured Patients?
Figure 5
Dose reduction, comparison of three different CT protocols. The mean effective dose for the standard (FBP) protocol was mSv, for IR 30 mSv, and mSv for IR 40 protocol, that is, 22.1% effective dose reduction for IR 30 () and 30.8% effective dose reduction for ASIR 40 (). A value of less than 0.05 was considered a statistical significance.
