Owing to recent advances in computing power, iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms have
become a clinically viable option in computed tomographic (CT) imaging. Substantial …

Objective: To investigate the achievable radiation dose reduction for coronary CT
angiography (CCTA) with iterative reconstruction (IR) in adults and the effects on image …

Purpose To determine the effect of radiation dose and iterative reconstruction (IR) on noise,
contrast, resolution, and observer-based detectability of subtle hypoattenuating liver lesions …

Objective To prospectively investigate image quality and radiation dose of 100 kVp spectral
shaping chest CT using a dedicated tin filter on a 3rd generation dual-source CT (DSCT) in …

Objectives In this phantom CT study, we investigated whether images reconstructed using
filtered back projection (FBP) and iterative reconstruction (IR) with reduced tube voltage and …

Recently a new iterative reconstruction algorithm named Sinogram Affirmed Iterative
Reconstruction (SAFIRE) has been released by Siemens. This algorithm works in the raw …

Objectives To evaluate a novel tin filter-based abdominal CT protocol for urolithiasis in terms
of image quality and CT dose parameters. Methods 130 consecutive patients with suspected …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the performance of low keV mono-energetic
reconstructions in spectral coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) using …

This study's purpose was to develop and validate a method to estimate patient-specific
detectability indices directly from patients' CT images (ie, in vivo). The method extracts noise …

Purpose: Aims in this study are to (1) develop a computational model observer which
reliably tracks the detectability of human observers in low dose computed tomography (CT) …
