Please note: Effective dose values were calculated with
the WinDose
™
Software Version 2.1, which was optimized
for SOMATOM Volume Zoom scanners. SOMATOM
Sensation 16 has modified shaped filters which might
cause slightly different effective dose numbers (differ-
ence not expected to be more than 5%).
An update of WinDose for the SOMATOM Sensation 16
is currently developed.
