Radiation Dose for Each Dose Level Considered in This Study by Using a Dual-Source Scan

Note.—Data are means ± standard deviations, unless indicated otherwise.

*CTDI_vol values at these dose levels were inferred from the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine headers, as they are not routinely reported on the protocol page.

^†For comparative purposes, the estimations of effective dose were calculated by using the corresponding CTDI_vol at each radiation output level, a fixed scan length of 26 cm covering the abdominal region only, and a conversion factor of 0.015 mSv/(mGy · cm).
