Size‐specific dose estimates calculated using patient size measurements from scanned projection radiograph in high‐resolution chest computed tomography
SSDE<sub>R</sub> may be used to assess patients' absorbed radiation dose, before the scan, in adult chest HRCT. The median value of SSDE<sub>R</sub> was about 10% lower than the median value SSDE<sub>W</sub>. However, the SSDE<sub>W</sub> should be used after the scan to establish effective dose and radiation risk to the patient.
