In this tool, the dose values of the scans already performed and the dose value of the scan
currently being planned are summed for the eXam Plan currently being executed. If the
cumulative dose value exceeds the reference value (dose alert value), a warning message is
displayed.

For the cumulative values, either one of the following dose values or both of them can be set.

(1) Cumulative CTDIvol

First, the CTDIvol values of the scans already performed and the CTDIvol value of the scan
currently being planned are summed for each slice position for the current patient (refer to the
figure below). Then the maximum value of the cumulative CTDIvol is detected within the
scan range of the eXam Plan currently being executed. This maximum value is referred to as
"Cumulative CTDIvol".
