Effective dose histogram. For each software application, we estimated the effective dose starting from the organ dose coefficients multiplied by the median volume computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) for head, chest, and abdomen-pelvis exams. The effective dose was obtained as sum of the organ doses weighted according to International Commission on Radiological Protection 103. We have added the values estimated using dose-length product conversion factors (k coefficients)
