Comparing organ and effective dose of various CT localizer acquisition strategies: A Monte Carlo study
Using a PA localizer results in a lower or equivalent organ dose in the most radiosensitive organs, and a lower effective dose compared to an AP localizer for both chest and abdomen+pelvis exams. Compared to a two-localizer strategy, the 3D localizer results in a lower effective dose in both the chest and abdomen+pelvis region.
