Objective: To determine the lowest miliampere-second (mAs) of a cranial computed tomography (CT) scan that can maintain acceptable image quality on cranial CT scan which might help reducing the risk of cataract formation.
Material And Method: The present study was performed on the 148 patients in routine daily practice sent for diagnosis of intracranial conditions by a cranial CT scan. During the cranial CT scanning, each lens's radiation dose on patient's eyes was measured by a thermoluminescent dosimeter Clinical image quality, particularly in analysis of gray and white matter differentiation, was evaluated independently using a 5 point scale by two radiologists.
Objective: To compare concentration of contrast medium for vascular opacification at ascending aorta using retrospective reconstruction of coronary CT angiography.
Study Design: Retrospective study.
Material And Method: Eighty-four patients undergoing coronary CT angiography with 16 multi-detector rows at Siriraj Hospital between September 2003 and July 2004 were included in this study.
