abstract：:It has been suggested that radiation doses due to high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest are considerably higher than those from conventional CT. We compared the effective dose (E, mSv) in conventional chest CT (10-mm contiguous slices) and HRCT (1.5-mm slices, gap 10 mm). In our study, the effective ...
