I've removed "Another technology application for EBT technology has been in rapid object/package/mail screening and sterilization of objects. Commercial demand for this application of EBT greatly increased in the US after the

What is the difference in patients' typical radiation exposure for EBT vs convential scans? David.Throop (talk) 21:44, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A variety of variables including patient size, study type, slice thickness, slice overlap, and other scan settings and patient varibles made accurate comparisons difficult. For example a CT heart on an EBT will consist of 40 slices, while a multichannel will typically require 200 or more, most of which are discared as "redundant radiation." Other non cardiac studies do not have this issue. EBT also is programmed to always start the beam from the posterior, this is to limit entrance dose radiation to x-ray sensitive tissue (such as breast and thyroid). For a comparison of exposure look in the physicians portal at Newportbodyscan.com. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GREGAROBERTSON (talk • contribs) 17:01, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
