TI  - SIZE-SPECIFIC DOSE ESTIMATES IN PEDIATRIC BRAIN CT IN RELATION TO AGE AND WEIGHT.
PG  - 1075-1081
LID - 10.1093/rpd/ncad133 [doi]
AB  - The size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) is used for radiation dose management in 
      computed tomography (CT) and represents patient's absorbed dose more accurately 
      than volume CT dose index. The relationship between SSDE and age or weight was 
      investigated using 980 pediatric brain CT scans. Monolinear, power, and bilinear 
      functions were fitted to the plots of SSDE against age or weight, and SSDE was 
      estimated using the obtained functions. SSDE showed a biphasic increase with 
      increasing age and weight: a rapid initial increase and subsequent a slow 
      increase. Bilinear and power functions were successfully fitted to the plots, and 
      mean estimation errors were close to 0, irrespective of the age or weight group. 
      The standard SSDE values estimated from the obtained functions agreed well with 
      the median values for each age or weight group. The curve-fitting method is 
      expected to aid radiation dose management for pediatric brain CT using SSDE.
