Table 5.
The total effective dose contribution from the given organ for the chest region simulated for the large bowtie filter. This is relative to the total effective dose from a procedure where ODM is not enabled with identical 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.
