Dose Information

ImpactDose

For most of our scan protocols, we calculated the

effective dose numbers for standard male* and

female* and listed the result in the description of each

scan protocol.

The calculation was done by the commercially avail-

able program "ImpactDose" (Wellhoefer Dosimetry).

For pediatric protocols, we used the ImpactDose calcu-

lation and the correction factors published in "Radia-

tion Exposure in Computed Topography"**, in which

there are only the conversion factors for the age of 8

weeks and 7 years old available.
