Abstract

Multi-slice CT scanners have the capability to scan long lengths with narrow slice widths and to perform multiple-phase contrast studies. This can lead to high patient doses. The assessment of dose in such systems is becoming more complex and time consuming and the effectiveness of the standard parameters are in doubt. This paper discusses applications of a new solid state dose profile meter in a range of CT systems, to provide relevant data using the central point method.
