Dose reduction in patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) examinations has become a concern in many countries. cr dosimetric quantities were defined aiming optimization of CT procedures, organ absorbed doses and effective doses have been calculated for radiation risk assessments in patients. In this work, an experimental methodology was established for measuring organ doses with thermoluminescent (TL) dosimeters in an anthropomorphic phantom for routine CT chest examinations. Results may be useful for validating computational software used for cr dose calculations. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
