Radiation doses from helicoidal CT

[Pedro Almeida <palmeida@correio.cc.fc.ul.pt>]

Hello everyone !

Can anyone outhere help me to find some information on radiation doses
absorved (or equivalent doses received) by an adult performing an
helicoidal CT of the thorax ?

I am particularly interested on the case where the readiologist is
trying to determine if he's in the presence of a pulmonar embolism.

Thank you all very much !!!
