The response of the 0075 family of spherical neutron detectors is discussed in the light of the latest fluence to dose conversion factors in ICRP 74 (1996). It is concluded that the detector response is a marginally better fit to these recommendations than to the earlier ones in ICRP 21 (...

dose length productComputed tomographyDosimetryPurpose: To generate effective dose per unit dose length product (E/DLP) conversion factors incorporating ICRP Publication 103 tissue weighting factors. Methods: Effective doses for CT examinations were obtained using theIMPACTDosimetry Calculator using all 23 ...
Purpose: To compute ICRP-103 based gender and age specific (baby, child, adult) normalized effective dose conversion k-factors (mSv/mGy*cm) for clinically relevant CT scanned body regions. Methods: We used the program CTExpo-v2.0 to compute DLP-to-effective dose k-factors for the scan ...
The tissue weighting factors recommended by ICRP to calculate effective doses are compared with relative damage factors calculated by ICRP for the nominal population and with similar factors calculated in this work for separate population cohorts in theRussian Federation. The significance of differences ...
The use of chest conversion factors significantly underestimates the effective dose when compared to the dose calculated using the ImPACT calculator. A conversion factor of 0.028 would give a better estimation of the effective dose from prospectively gated cardiac MDCT....
