Table 4.

The total effective dose contribution from the given organ for the entire axial skeleton simulated for the large bowtie filter. This is relative to the total effective dose from a procedure where ODM is not enabled with identical CTDIvol and where TCM is set at the same setting. Only organs which contribute over 5% to the effective dose are shown. The values in brackets indicate the dose change from enabling ODM.
