Differences in imaging duration and radiation dose between chest computed tomography scanner types
| 16-slice | 64-slice | 128-slice | |
| Imaging duration (s) | ∼8.3 | ∼8.5 | ∼3.5 |
| Effective dose (mSv) | 9.52 | 7.5 | 9.46 |
| CTDIvol (mGy per 100 mAs body) | 11.65 | 17.11 | 10.4±2.1 |
Note that these are example values, since different studies have reached different results regarding the dose efficiency of multislice computed tomography scans. CTDIvol: volume computed tomography dose index.
