Common questions
What does CT Dose: DLP → Effective Dose do?
Quickly estimate effective dose (mSv) when reading CT dose reports, doing protocol QA, or communicating with patients.
How is the result calculated?
E(mSv) = DLP(mGy·cm) × k. Adult k: head 0.0021, neck 0.0059, head-neck 0.0031, chest 0.014, abdomen/pelvis 0.015. Pediatric k rises as age falls (e.g. head: newborn ≈0.011, 1y ≈0.0067, 5y ≈0.0040, 10y ≈0.0032).
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. All results are decision-support only, for licensed clinicians. They must be individualized to the whole patient and the latest guideline version.
