Radiation exposure during simulated equine head and limb fan beam standing computed tomography appears safe for personnel using lead shielding
Our findings suggest that scanning large numbers of horses per year with the Asto CT Equina would not lead to occupational radiation exposure above the recommended safe threshold for handlers using lead shields and eyeglasses.
