An Alderson Rando phan- tom equipped with thermoluminescent dosimeters was used for dose mea- surements. Exposure was performed on a dual-source computed tomogra- phy system with a standard protocol for chest pain evaluation (120 kV, 320 mAs/rot) with different simulated heart rates (HRs). The dose of a standard chest CT examination (120 kV, 160 mAs) was also mea- sured. Effective dose of the chest pain protocol was 19.3/21.9 mSv (male/ female, HR 60), 17.9/20.4 mSv (male/ female, HR 80) and 14.7/16.7 mSv (male/female, HR 100). Effective dose of a standard chest examination was 6.3 mSv (males) and 7.2 mSv (fe- males). Radiation dose of the chest pain protocol increases significantly with a lower heart rate for both males (p=0.040) and females (p=0.044). The average radiation dose of a stan- dard chest CT examination is about 36.5% that of a CT examination performed for chest pain. Using DSCT, the evaluated chest pain pro- tocol revealed a higher radiation ex- posure compared with standard chest CT. Furthermore, HRs markedly in- fluenced the dose exposure when using the ECG-gated chest pain pro- tocol. Keywords Dual-source computed tomography . Radiation exposure . Effective dose .
