High-end CT systems allow acquisition of isotropic volumetric data sets that permit high
quality reformatted images and images with less than 1 mm slice thickness. These …

Over the last few years, computed tomography (CT) has developed into a standard clinical
test for a variety of cardiovascular conditions. The emergence of cardiovascular CT during a …

Despite universal consensus that computed tomography (CT) overwhelmingly benefits
patients when used for appropriate indications, concerns have been raised regarding the …

This special report aims to inform the medical community about the many challenges
involved in managing radiation exposure in a way that maximizes the benefit-risk ratio. The …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to determine the effect of Adaptive Statistical
Iterative Reconstruction (ASIR) on cardiac CT angiography (CTA) signal, noise, and image …

Objectives To compare image noise, image quality and diagnostic accuracy of coronary CT
angiography (cCTA) using a novel iterative reconstruction algorithm versus traditional …

Coronary CT angiography has been increasingly used in the diagnosis of coronary artery
disease owing to rapid technological developments, which are reflected in the improved …

In addition to existing strategies for reducing radiation dose in computed tomographic (CT)
examinations, such as the use of automatic exposure control, use of the optimal tube …
