Saara Alenius
”Kartiokeilatietokonetomografiakuvantamisen aiheuttaman potilasannoksen määritys ja optimointi”
Abstract: Kartiokeilatietokonetomografia eli KKTT on tyypillisimmin käytetty kuvausmodaliteetti kuvantaohjatussa sädehoidossa ja sitä käytetään pääasiassa potilaan asemointiin ja sädehoidon kohdistamiseen. Tämän työn tarkoituksena on selvittää yhdeksässä suomalaisessa sairaalassa käytettäviä KKTT-kuvantamisen kuvausparametreja ja kuvauskäytäntöjä sekä laskennallisesti määrittää kuvantamisen aiheuttamia potilasannoksia ja optimoinnin vaikutuksia.
