Validation of a New Scintillating Fiber Dosimeter for Radiation Dose Quality Control in Computed Tomography.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
(1) Background: The IVIscan is a commercially available scintillating fiber detector designed for quality assurance and in vivo dosimetry in computed tomography (CT). In this work, we investigated the performance of the IVIscan scintillator and associated method in a wide range of beam width from three CT manufacturers and compared it to a CT chamber designed for Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) measurements. (2) Methods: We measured weighted CTDI (CTDIw) with each detector in accordance with the requirements of regulatory tests and international recommendations for the minimum, maximum and the most used beam width in clinic and investigated the accuracy of the IVIscan system based on the assessment of the CTDIw deviation from the CT chamber. We also investigated the IVIscan accuracy for the whole range of the CT scans kV. (3) Results: We found excellent agreement between the IVIscan scintillator and the CT chamber for the whole range of beam widths and kV, especially for wide beams used on recent technology of CT scans. (4) Conclusions: These findings highlight that the IVIscan scintillator is a relevant detector for CT radiation dose assessments, and the method associated with calculating the CTDIw saves a significant amount of time and effort when performing tests, especially with regard to new CT technologies.
