The dose from computed tomography (CT) examinations is not negligible from a radiation safety standpoint. Occasionally, one encounters a case in which an unsuspected pregnant woman undergoes a CT pelvic scan, and the radiologist is required to estimate the dose to the fetus. This article addresses practical methods of CT dosimetry with a specific discussion on fetal dose estimate. Three methods are described: (1) the use of a dose chart, (2) the pencil ionization chamber method, and (3) the thermoluminescence dosimetry (TLD) method.
从辐射安全的角度来看,计算机断层扫描(CT)检查的剂量不可忽视。偶尔会遇到这样的情况,即一名未被怀疑怀孕的女性接受了CT盆腔扫描,放射科医生需要估计胎儿所接受的剂量。本文介绍了CT剂量测定的实用方法,并特别讨论了胎儿剂量估计。文中描述了三种方法:(1)使用剂量图表,(2)铅笔电离室法,以及(3)热释光剂量测定(TLD)法。
