Radiation dose to breasts from a cardiac computed tomography angiography scanogram can be reduced by switching tube position
Özet
Background/aim: In a computed tomography (CT) examination, scanogram images are used to determine the range of the area to be imaged before scanning. The importance of scanogram image exposure has increased since total examination radiation has decreased due to technological advancements. The purpose of this study was to determine and compare radiation doses delivered to patients while the tube was in anterior-posterior (AP) and posterior-anterior (PA) positions during a CT angiography scanogram.
