Evaluation of an in-use chest CT protocol in lung cancer screening - A single institutional study
(Acta Radiologica Open;, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide and therefore there has been a growing demand for low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) protocols. Purpose: To investigate and evaluate ... -
Iterative reconstruction improves image quality and reduces radiation dose in trauma protocols; A human cadaver study
(Acta Radiologica Open;Volume: 10, issue: 10, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-11-18)Background: Radiation-related cancer risk is an object of concern in CT of trauma patients, as these represent a young population. Different radiation reducing methods, including iterative reconstruction (IR), and spilt ... -
A multi-institutional assessment of low-dose protocols in chest computed tomography: Dose and image quality
(Acta Radiologica Open;, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background: Low-dose CT (LDCT) chest protocols have widespread clinical applications for many indications; as a result, there is a need for protocol assessment prior to standardization. Dalhousie University and Oslo ... -
A survey of local diagnostic reference levels for the head, thorax, abdomen and pelvis computed tomography in Norway and Canada
(Acta Radiologica Open;Volume 11, Issue 10, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-10-07)Background: Computed tomography (CT) contributes to 60% of the collective dose in medical imaging. Literature has demonstrated that patient dose varies across regions and countries. Establishing diagnostic reference levels ... -
Ultra-low-dose emergency chest computed tomography protocols in three vendors: A technical note
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: In suspected community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), chest CT is superior to the routinely obtained radiographs (CXR), but administers higher radiation doses. However, ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT) has shown ...
