| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, to estimate Japanese patient doses in infant CT examinations from dose measurements using anthropomorphic phantoms, we developed a Japanese 3-year-old phantom and constructed an in-phantom dosimetry system consisting of radiophotoluminescence glass dosemeters installed at various tissue/organ sites within the phantom. To investigate whether the phantom materials and structure with the 3-year-old phantom were appropriate for dose assessment in CT examinations, we compared organ and effective doses between the 3-year-old in-phantom dosimetry system and a web-based CT dose calculation system, WAZA-ARI. The doses for organs within scan regions and effective doses between both systems coincided with each other within allowable error of 20%. It was found from age-specific dose measurements that the effective doses for 0- to 6-year-old patients in head, chest and abdominopelvic CT examinations were equivalent regardless of age.
