Methods, systems, and apparatus for determining radiation doses

An apparatus comprising:

• means for flagging a first scout image when at least one of (A) a first anatomical landmark in the first scout image of a first scout image file does not include an organ (B) to first set of dimensions of the first anatomic landmark in the first scout image cannot be determined, or (C) the first set of dimensions are outside of a predefined range, the flagging to prompt a capture of a second scout image;
• and
• means for calculating a radiation dose for an organ in a second anatomical landmark of a second scout image file taken in response to the flagging.

A method comprising:

• processing, by executing an instruction with one or more processors, a first scout image in an attempt to determine a first set of dimensions of a first anatomical landmark of a first scout image file;
• and
• calculating, by executing an instruction with one or more processors, a radiation dose for an organ in a second anatomical landmark of a second scout image file taken in response to when at least one of (A) the first anatomical landmark in the first scout image does not include an organ (B) the first set of dimensions of the first anatomic landmark cannot be determined, or (C) the first set of dimensions are outside of a predefined range.
