Radiation dose from multidetector row CT imaging for acute stroke
Neuroradiology, 06/11/09
Mnyusiwalla A et al. - A comprehensive CT acute stroke protocol delivered a mean effective dose of 16.4 mSv, which is approximately six times the dose of an unenhanced CT head. These high-dose results must be balanced with the benefits of the detailed anatomic and physiologic data obtained. Centers should implement aggressive dose reduction strategies and freely use MR as a substitute.
