Exploring the correlation between effective dose and BMI-based size-specific dose estimate in CT angiography

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a widely used diagnostic tool, but concerns about radiation exposure necessitate accurate dose estimation. This study investigates the correlation between Effective Dose (ED) and Size-Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE) estimated from the patient’s body mass index (BMI) in CTA to evaluate the utility of SSDE-BMI as a patient-specific dosimetry parameter.
