Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Dosis reduction within a range from 0 to 50 % depending on acquistion optimizing. Optimal acquistion parameters can allow for a radiation exposure of cervical spine CT less than 1 msV. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Lowered shulter position, low body weight and low BMI values allow for a lower radiation exposure in cervical spine CT. | — |
