Dataset for "Validation of SSDE calculation in a modern CT scanner and correlation with effective dose"

Size-Specific Dose Estimate (SSDE) is a size-adjusted dosimetric index that addresses the limitations of the Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDIvol). This research aims to verify the SSDE generated by a modern Computed Tomography (CT) scanner and examine its relationship with effective dose (E). Sixty CT scans were performed on anthropomorphic phantoms, including models representing pediatric and obese patients, and then analyzed. SSDE values from the CT scanner were compared with those calculated independently using a Python-based method and Radimetrics, a dose monitoring software.

The published dataset contains all the CT images and an Excel file with the main parameters given by the CT scanner, alsongside the ones calculated with Python and Radimetrics.
