CT Parameters: Image & Dose
kVp, mAs, pitch, collimation, kernel… how each setting shifts image quality and dose. Grounded in Bushberg.
DoseSave is a medical physics knowledge platform that examines the balance between radiation dose and image quality — independently, clearly, and grounded in the primary literature. From CT dose metrics and reconstruction algorithms to radiation protection and optimization.
Every article is built on AAPM, ICRP, IAEA and peer-reviewed literature; claims are backed by citations.
Methods to lower dose while preserving image quality: parameters, protocols and algorithms.
All content in Turkish, English, German and Spanish, pairing international terminology with local practice.
Six core areas spanning the physics of imaging to patient and staff safety.
CTDIvol, DLP, SSDE, effective dose and diagnostic reference levels (DRLs).
FBP, iterative reconstruction and deep-learning–based methods.
ALARA, time–distance–shielding, dose limits, deterministic and stochastic effects.
Radiopharmaceuticals, SPECT/PET, internal dosimetry and activity optimization.
Noise, contrast, spatial resolution, kV/mAs, pitch and reconstruction kernel.
SSDE and effective-dose calculators; ROI-based noise, SNR and CNR on DICOM images, plus a QC module for CT, radiography, mammography and fluoroscopy. Open the tools →
In-depth, fully sourced primers to start with.
kVp, mAs, pitch, collimation, kernel… how each setting shifts image quality and dose. Grounded in Bushberg.
What CT dose metrics measure, what they don't, and how to estimate patient dose more accurately.
How three generations of reconstruction work and their effect on dose and image quality.
ALARA, time–distance–shielding, dose limits and deterministic/stochastic effects.
Every published article, grouped by topic. Each one is available in four languages.
DoseSave is an independent educational initiative founded by a medical physicist. Our goal is to make dose and image-quality optimization understandable — backed by reliable sources — for radiologists, technologists, medical physicists and students.
Over time we aim to host articles from expert contributors, share tools, and let industry stakeholders (e.g. equipment vendors) provide educational content — always with editorial independence and source transparency as our priority.
