[[File:Glossary Icon-2.png|100px|frameless|right|link=ICRP Glossary]]
A parameter used as a surrogate measure for patient dose in a computed tomography scan of length L. By convention the DLP is reported in the units of mGy x cm and is the product of the energy deposited in a single slice (CTDIvol) multiplied by the scan length L. This quantity is analogous to the ‘kerma-area product (Kap)’ used in planar radiography.
