For the accomplishment of this study, CT dose descriptors such as mAs, kVp, Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) and Dose Length Product (DLP) were registered for CT examinations of the brain, face, chest, spine, abdomen and pelvis, through the examination of the file dose protocol grouped into 12 different clinical indications and using a sample of 20 patients per each clinical indication. A final total of 240 examinations were considered.
