The ED is then multiplied by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) published risk factor for LAR. The obtained LAR values are compared with the international literature. Factors that may affect the LAR value are reported and discussed. The study included one hundred twenty five chest CT examinations for both males and females aged from less than one year to fifteen years. The patients reported data are from one single medical institution and using two CT scanners from June 2022 to December 2023. The results of this study may serve as benchmark for institutional radiation dose reference levels and risk estimation.展开更多

The internal porosity of the unit is 40%. The printed parts were sintered and the grain size is about 1.1 μm. The bending strength of the vertex interconnect structure is much larger than that of the edge structure. Materials genome initiative(MGI) aims to digital design and intelligent manufacture for advanced components. This research shows us an example to achieve this goal.展开更多
