Abstract

It is not easy to measure the half-value layer (HVL) of CT because it is necessary to place the X-ray tube position fixed. The aim of this study was to experiment the new methods of HVL measuring of CT using a custom-made lead slit. The custom-made lead slit method allowed the HVL measuring of CT while the rotation of the X-ray tube. The error of HVL value using the custom-made lead slit method compared to the conventional method was within 6%. The custom-made lead slit method can enable to measure the HVL of CT easily without the X-ray tube position fixed.
