Introduction: Postmortem multi-detector computed tomography (PMCT) has become an important part in forensic imaging. Modern reconstruction techniques such as iterative reconstruction (IR) are frequently used in postmortem CT angiography (PMCTA). The image quality of PMCTA depends on the strength of IR.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to create diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) for computed tomography angiography (CTA) that are specific to patient size and evaluate the potential for dose optimization.
  • A total of 1,344 CTA exams were analyzed, with findings showing that CT dose index (CTDI) increases linearly with patient size, using water equivalent diameter (Dw) as a measure.
  • Institutional size-specific DRLs were found to be lower than national size-independent DRLs, particularly for average-sized patients, indicating a more precise and effective approach to patient safety and dose management.
