With the quick development of this technique, there is a growing demand for calibrated phantoms to validate elastography systems.

Patient-specific organ doses were estimated using CT dosimetry software (NCICT) whereas effective doses (ED) were estimated from NCICT and the dose-length product (DLP).

The median ED per WBLDCT examination was 5.6/4.6 mSv (female) and 5.8/3.4 mSv (male) using NCICT/DLP with the highest cumulative (<em>n = 7</em>) ED being 42.1 mSv. Lung cancer (female) and leukaemia (female/male) were associated with the highest risks related to WBLDCT procedures, with total LAR being 44 % higher in females compared to males.
