Journal Article
Tootell, A., Szczepura, K., & Hogg, P. (2014). Comparison of effective dose and lifetime risk of cancer Incidence of CT attenuation correction acquisitions and radiopharmaceutical administration for myocardial perfusion imaging. British Journal of Radiology, 87(1041), 20140110. https://doi.org/10.1259/bjr.20140110

Objective: To measure the organ dose and calculate effective dose from CT attenuation correction (CTAC) acquisitions from four commonly used gamma camera single photon emission CT/CT systems. Methods: CTAC dosimetry data was collected using therm...

An overview of measuring and modelling dose and risk from ionising radiation for medical exposures (2014)
Journal Article
risk from ionising radiation for medical exposures. Radiography, 20(4), 323-332. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.radi.2014.05.002

PURPOSE: This paper gives an overview of the methods that are used to calculate dose and risk from exposure to ionizing radiation as a support to other papers in this special issue. BACKGROUND: The optimization of radiation dose is a legal requir... Read More about An overview of measuring and modelling dose and risk from ionising radiation for medical exposures.
