Popis: PURPOSE To evaluate radiation exposure in whole-body CT (WBCT) of multiple injured patients comparing 4-row multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) to 64-row MDCT. MATERIALS AND METHODS 200 WBCT studies were retrospectively evaluated: 92 4-row MDCT scans and 108 64-row MDCT scans. Each CT protocol was optimized for the particular CT system. The scan length, CT dose index (CTDI), and dose length product (DLP) were recorded and analyzed for radiation exposure. The mean effective dose was estimated based on conversion factors. Student's t-test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The mean CTDIvol values (mGy) of the thorax and abdomen were significantly reduced with 64-row MDCT (10.2±2.5 vs. 11.4±1.4, p
