摘要：
This paper aims to evaluate the radiation dose exposure of patients submitted to cardiac computed tomography angiography. The effective dose was obtained from the product of doselength product values and the conversion factor established in the European Working Group for Guidelines on Quality Criteria in CT. The image noise and contrast- and signal-to-noise ratios were obtained for all images. Sixty-four- and 256-slice CT angiographies were used in 211 (68.5 ) and 97 (31.5 ) patients, respectively. The calculated mean effective dose with prospective CT angiography was 6.01.0 mSv and the retrospective mode was 8.41.2 mSv. The mean image noise values were 38.59.5 and 21.4 5.3 for prospective and retrospective modes, respectively. It was observed that the image noise increased by 44.4 using a prospective mode. Prospective CT angiography reduces radiation dose by 29 compared with the retrospective mode, while maintaining diagnostic image quality and the ability to assess obstructions in patients.
