Sažetak
Computed tomography (CT) is a widely used modality in diagnostic radiology. It has found its way into emergency medicine where it represents an indispensable diagnostic tool. The main disadvantage of CT is the high radiation dose delivered to patients, which is why a lot of emphases is given to the development of optimised scanning protocols. Aim of this study was to assess the patient doses in the form of air kerma length product (PKL, CT or DLP) and volume computed tomography air kerma dose index (CVOL or CTDIvol), for the most common head CT procedures, and to compare them to different diagnostic reference levels (DRLs). The results have shown that patient doses for non-contrast CT of the head are in line with the DRLs in many countries. The results from this paper will provide a basis for the optimisation of surveyed radiological procedures.
