TI  - DEVELOPMENT OF A SPECIALISED TAPE MEASURE TO ESTIMATE THE SIZE-SPECIFIC DOSE 
      ESTIMATE.

AB  - The risk in computed tomography (CT) examinations is radiation exposure. We aimed 
      to develop a specialised tape measure for determining the size-specific dose 
      estimate (SSDE) for patients undergoing CT scans. The scanning parameters used 
      were those of the abdominal protocol in our institute. With this method, the 
      SSDE220 and standard deviations obtained from CT images for the liver, pelvic and 
      lung areas, corresponded closely to the SSDEtape and standard deviations obtained 
      using the tape measure. We thus devised a new idea that allows the estimation of 
      the SSDE220 using a specialised tape measure before the CT examination, allowing 
      for an informed explanation of the radiation dose to the patient. Although the 
      tape measure developed in this study is specific to one particular CT instrument, 
      the method could be adapted to a wide range of radiography applications.
