Software development for dosimetric follow up of patient undergoing CT scanners

Abstract

Introduction: Computed Tomography involves larger radiation doses than the more conventional X-rays imaging procedures. More than 27 000 patients are scanned annually on the two scanners of Lariboisière Hospital. Some patients, sometimes young, have a large number of CT scans for severe medical problems. The medical staff should be able to monitor dosimetric informations to identify patients with stochastic risks from X-rays exposures.
