Abstract
Estimation of patient air kerma in tomography with an uncertainty below 7% is thus feasible using an empty scan and conventional measurement tools. The provided equations and website can be applied to a standard size for the sake of quality control or to several sizes for the definition of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs). The obtained incident air kerma can be directly compared to the Ka,i from other X-ray modalities as recommended by ICRU and IAEA.
