ABSTRACT

Complex algorithms, including filtered back projection, are applied to the data to provide primary reconstruction images in three orthogonal planes (Figure 5.2).

Effective dose does vary depending on the manufacturer and on the volume acquired, but are usually between 0.035 and 0.10 mSv, (milliSieverts) where as a typical effective dose for CT facial bones is 0.40 mSv (milliSieverts) (Table 5.1 values are in MicroSieverts).
