[Intl_DxMedPhys] PET/CT Help

[Montagnese, Anthony D]

Happy New Year, friends.

I am looking for help from anyone who has experience with a Siemens Biograph  Trinion EP2 PET/CT system.  Specifically, I would like an estimate of an average mAs per scan for the attenuation scan of the CT component.  Siemens might give mAs/slice, but I am looking for an estimate of the total mAs for the entire scan volume.  I'm aware that this will fluctuate throughout the scan through mA modulation, which is why I'm looking for averages - average throughout the scan volume, and average from a sample of patients.

Please respond directly, as I'm not sure many other listserver members will be interested.  Thank you.
