ASSESSMENT OF ORGAN ABSORBED DOSES AND ESTIMATION OF EFFECTIVE DOSES FROM PEDIATRIC ANTHROPOMORPHIC PHANTOM MEASUREMENTS FOR MULTI-DETECTOR ROW CT WITH AND WITHOUT AUTOMATIC EXPOSURE CONTROL

Abstract—This study was designed to measure organ absorbed doses from multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) on pediatric anthropomorphic phantoms, calculate the corresponding effective doses, and assess the influence of automatic exposure control (AEC) in terms of organ dose variations. Four
