Evaluation of size-specific dose estimates in CT kidneys, ureters, and bladder scans: comparison of central-slice and full-slices methods using water-equivalent and effective diameters
This study provides clinical validation that SSDE can be reliably estimated using a single-slice method in CT KUB examinations, offering a substantial reduction in processing time. It also demonstrates that Deff is a viable substitute for Dw when access to advanced imaging analysis tools is limited.
