Note:—NS indicates not significant; CTDIvol, volume CT dose index; DLP, dose-length product.
* The CTDIvol, DLP, and eye lens doses are tabulated as mean ± SD with the minimum and maximum values in parentheses. Comparison was made between protocols using the paired Student t test, and statistical significance was defined at P < .05.
