The dose received by the patient in CT scans are not considered in the treatment planning dose calculation and becomes important in calculating the limit doses of the critical organs with critical dose threshold. In this study, the change of the dose received by some of the critical organs, namely the heart, liver, and kidneys, according to the height of the patient was investigated with the NCICT code using the Monte Carlo technique. As a result, doses were changed by the height of the patients.}, number={1}, publisher={Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi}
