232 Chapter 9 Text S1 Radiation dose calculation ULDCT and CXR Method cof the CXR were based on Monte Carlo simulations with PCXMC 2.0 (STUK, Helsinki, Finland). Input parameters for the simulations are the Dose area Product (DAP) of the acquisitions, source to patient distance, beam collimation, kVp and beam filtration. Result The median ULDCT dose was 0.2 mSv (IQR 0.2 to 0.3 mSv). The median CXR dose was for portable anterior posterior (AP) CXR 0.02 mSv (IQR 0.02 to 0.03 mSv) and bucky CXR posterior anterior (PA) and lateral 0.05 mSv (IQR 0.03 to 0.07 mSv). Reference 1.
