From: Patient organ and effective dose estimation in CT: comparison of four software applications
Organ dose per volume computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) unit, obtained simulating the CT Chest protocol with CT-Expo, NCICTX, NCICT, and Virtual Dose, using a male and female phantom. These values are dose coefficients, obtained as organ dose (mGy) and CTDIvol (mGy) ratio. Lungs, heart, breast, thymus, oesophagus, and spleen are completely irradiated. CT-Expo considers the breasts only for the female phantom
