For more than two years, coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has represented a threat to global health and lifestyles. Computed tomography (CT) imaging provides useful information in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. However, this diagnostic modality is based on exposure to ionizing radiation, which is associated with an increased risk of radiation-induced cancer. In this study, we evaluated the common dose descriptors, CTDI and DLP, for 1180 adult patients. This data was used to estimate the effective dose, and risk of exposure-induced death (REID). Awareness of the extensive use of CT as a diagnostic tool in the management of COVID-19 during the pandemic is vital for the evaluation of radiation exposure parameters, dose reduction methods development and radiation protection.
两年多来，新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）一直对全球健康和生活方式构成威胁。计算机断层扫描（CT）成像可为COVID-19肺炎患者提供有用信息。然而，这种诊断方式基于电离辐射暴露，而电离辐射与辐射诱发癌症风险增加有关。在本研究中，我们评估了1180例成年患者的常用剂量描述指标CTDI和DLP。这些数据用于估计有效剂量和暴露诱发死亡风险（REID）。在大流行期间，认识到CT作为COVID-19管理中的诊断工具被广泛使用，对于评估辐射暴露参数、开发剂量降低方法和辐射防护至关重要。
