Excess of radiation burden for young testicular cancer patients using automatic exposure control and contrast agent on whole-body computed tomography imaging

Excess of radiation burden for young testicular cancer patients using automatic exposure control and contrast agent on whole-body computed tomography imaging

The aim of the study was to assess patient dose from whole-body computed tomography (CT) in association with patient size, automatic exposure control (AEC) and intravenous (IV) contrast agent.
