Figure 4 Comparison of cumulative effective dose in medical, surgical, and trauma patients.
Trauma patients received a statistically significant higher dose [median CED; 7.7 mSv (IQR: 3.5-13.8 mSv)] than medical [median CED: 1.4 mSv (IQR: 0.05-5.4 mSv)] and surgical [median CED: 1.6 mSv (IQR: 0.04-7.5mSv)] patients. (Dunn’s multiple comparisons test aP < 0.0001, bP < 0.0001). CED: Cumulative effective dose.
