X-RAY DOSE CONTROL BASED ON PATIENT SIZE

摘要

Automatic X-ray dosage control based on patient size is described. A system (200) provides a computer (270) based system for determining patient size based on mathematical analysis of light employed to illuminate a patient (240) and light detectors (220, 222, 224, ..., 230). The system (200) also provides a computer (270) based system for calculating an X-ray dose parameter based on the determined patient size.
