ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the dependence of geometric efficiency (GE) on beam collimation and tube voltage.Methods:
The dose profile was measured under the conditions of different collimations and tube voltages and GE was calculated.Results:
GE was found to be from 11% to 68%, GE at central position and periphery were found to range from 11% to 49% and 16% to 68% respectively, and weighted GE was found to be from 17% to 58%. GE was increased with beam collimation, while it was less pronounced on tube voltages.Conclusion:
The dependence of GE on collimation was significant. Therefore, operators should choose appropriate collimations to reduce the dose burden of patients in CT examinations.
