title: [HEALTH PREDICTION INDICES OBTAINED WITH LOW-DOSE COMPUTER TOMOGRAPHY SCANS].
abstract: Purpose of the investigation was to make prognostic estimations of reductions in somatic morbidity and temporal disability, and tumor pathology using low-dose computer tomography (CT) scans and to compare with standard protocols. Mean effective radiation doses were determined based on the results of 1627 diagnostic CT investigations made in 2012-2014 at the Treatment and Rehabilitation Center of the Russian Ministry of Health. Low-dose CT scans of the head and thoracic, abdominal and small pelvis organs were obtained on a GE Discovery CT750 HD, and with the help of the ASIR and MBIR algorithms of iterative reconstruction. In comparison with a standard dose, a single CT scan with a dose reduced by 10-12 mSv predicts a decrease in total morbidity by 0.84-5.52% and temporal disability by 0.55-1.65% per 100 employees over a year; total risk of tumors and genetic effects reduced in 5 to 10 times, which may be equal to 40-90 cases per 100,000 of 30 y.o. males.
