1. Dose comparison
3. ECG dose modulation recent study using 16 slice MDCT with retrospective ECG-gating and tube current modulation showed 47% dose reductions in CT coronary angiography [33]
Average effective doses for males and females were 8.1 and 10.9 mSv respectively without and 4.3 and 5.6 mSv with tube modulation [33].
