| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a k-factor-creator software (kFC) that provides the k-factor for CT examination in an arbitrary scan area. It provides the k-factor from the effective dose and dose-length product by boundary representation phantoms.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究結果はCTの被ばく線量を簡便に評価可能である．そのため，この研究がもたらす効果は，第一に放射線医学研究報告における線量の信頼性が向上すること，第二に研究報告を集約している国連調査報告書，アンケートやDose-SRを集約している診断参考レベルなど被検者の安全を守る線量指標の信頼性が向上すること，第三に信頼性のある線量値がインフォームド・コンセントにおいて被検者に安心を与えることである．
