PCXMC - Dose in lungs
Figure 5d . A comparison of the conversion factors calculated by PCXMC with the data of Hart et al. (1996b). Conversion coefficient from air kerma to dose in the lungs. All doses correspond to an entrance air kerma (free-in-air) of 1 Gy. In the examination condition the first digits show the patient's age, the letters show the examination (a = abdomen, c = chest, h = head, p = pelvis) and projection (a = AP, p = PA, r = right lateral), and the last digits show the x-ray spectrum (60 = 60 kV, total filtration 3 mm Al; 120 = 120 kV, total filtration 3 mm Al and 0.2 mm Cu, 17o x-ray tube anode angle). The error bars shown correspond to two standard errors of the data.
