Figure 4 Relationship Between Effective Dose Values Calculated With 3 Different Methods

Scatter plots illustrating the relationship between effective doses calculated with (A) PCXMC and NRPB conversion coefficients and (B) PCXMC and WinODS software for each patient. (A) Although both methods give similar results in normal-weight patients, PCXMC generates lower effective dose estimates than conversion coefficient estimates in overweight and especially obese patients. (B) Excellent agreement between effective dose calculations with PCXMC and WinODS for male patients, regardless of BMI. For female patients, WinODS calculations result in higher effective dose estimates. Abbreviations as in Figure 3.
