No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study will explore CT radiation dose as low as reasonably achievable in diagnosing acute appendicitis, by using of dose simulation technique and iterative reconstruction.

Conditions

  • Appendicitis

Interventions

RADIATION

CT

Contrast-enhanced CT images of the abdomen and pelvis will be obtained during the portal venous phase using a 256-channel CT system (Philips Healthcare, Cleveland, OH). The target median dose-length product (DLP) is 130 mGy·cm, which corresponded to an effective dose of 2 mSv with a conversion factor of 0.015 mSv·mGy-1·cm-1. The radiation output was automatically adjusted according to the individual patient's body size.
