Reduction in Lens Dose in Temporal Bone Computed Tomography by Modification of Scanning Plane

Full Article

TF Lee, CY Chu, HT Sung, ST Leung, KW Leung, WK Kan

Hong Kong J Radiol 2016;19:91-5

DOI: 10.12809/hkjr1615339

Objectives: To evaluate the radiation dose reduction to the lens by modifying the scanning plane to exclude the orbit in temporal bone computed tomography (CT). The effect on diagnostic image quality was also evaluated.
