Popis:	The effective dose is a quantity used in clinical practice for statistical evaluation of the radiation dose of patients undergoing different types of examinations. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a specific examination whose calculated effective dose may be subject to several biases. For this reason, it is important to consider factors (different examination techniques, heart rate and patient habitus) that may influence its resulting value. Another critical factor is the methodological procedure for calculating the effective dose and cardiac-specific coefficient used to estimate effective dose from the dose-length product in computed tomography. Because CCTA is increasingly used in cardiology, it is recommended that the chest coefficient be replaced with a new cardiac coefficient when calculating the effective dose.
