Table 4.

Dose Measurements Using a 10-cm Ionization Chamber in a 16-cm-Diameter Acrylic CTDI Head Phantom (Clinical Standard).

Measured in 16-cm-Diameter CTDI Head Phantom
kVp/mA s Measurement (mGy cm) Dose (mGy)
Texposed = 5.5 cm

70/1600 403.2 73.3
120/320 356.0 64.7

Here measurements were performed in dual-panel mode, deviating from the other protocols, because this mode would be used for measurements of larger subjects.

Dose was measured at 70 kVp/200 mA and 120 kVp/40 mA over 8 seconds. The dose is normalized to the X-ray exposure length along the z-axis (third column).
