title = "A parametric fitting technique for rapid determination of a skin-dose correction factor for angle of beam incidence during image-guided endovascular procedures",
abstract = "Monte-Carlo software was used to calculate the {"}patient's skin-dose{"}averaged over 1 mm skin thickness as a function of incident beam-to-skin angle from 90 to 10 degrees for entrance-beam sizes from 5 to 15 cm, energies from 60 to 120 kVp, and thicknesses of Cu beam filters from 0.2 to 0.5 mm in a water phantom to obtain an angular-correction-factor (ACF). The Matlab tool, a€cftool', was used to fit these ACF's to formulas as a function of incident beam angle and kVp, allowing the ACF to be quickly determined for accurate skin-dose calculation during fluoroscopically-guided procedures.",
