title = "Review of Methods to Control Patient Doses and Image Quality in Various CT Techniques",
abstract = "Medical X-ray imaging is the largest source of radiation exposure to the population from artificial sources. Computed tomography (CT) contributes with 50-80 % of that radiation. About 660 000 CT examinations (2005) are done in Sweden every year. A CT examination gives a mean effective dose of 5 mSv, which is about 10 times higher than for a corresponding conventional X-ray investigation. This presentation describes earlier, current and future dosimetric and image quality analysis methods, necessary to correspond to the rapidly developing CT-techniques.",
