Correlation of Patient Weight and Cross-Sectional Dimensions with Subjective Image Quality at Standard Dose Abdominal CT
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the association between patients' weight and abdominal cross-sectional dimensions and CT image quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively evaluated 39 cancer patients aged more than 65 years with multislice CT scan of abdomen. All patients underwent equilibrium phase contrast-enhanced abdominal CT with 4 slices (from top of the right kidney) obtained at standard tu...
متن کاملPatient dose and image quality in low-dose abdominal CT: a comparison between iterative reconstruction and filtered back projection.
BACKGROUND In computed tomography (CT), there is increasing concern for potential CT radiation hazards. Several raw-data-based iterative reconstruction techniques attempt to facilitate low-dose imaging without compromising image quality, which raises the question whether these techniques may allow further dose reduction. PURPOSE To compare image quality of iterative reconstruction and filtere...
متن کاملcomparison of low dose and standard dose abdominal ct scan in body stuffers
results the study consisted of 40 patients (all men, with mean age of 33.38 ± 7.4 years). ct evaluation with standard dose were positive in 22 patients (55%). only 1 (2.5%) ct scan assigned as unacceptable by each radiologist in low-dose group. noise average of low-dose protocol, was approximately 7 times greater than standard dose group, while dlp and ed are 9.7 times smaller. in comparison wi...
متن کاملTradeoffs in CT Image Quality and Dose
The purpose of this presentation will be to first describe several of the components of CT image quality – noise, slice thickness (Z-axis resolution), low contrast resolution, and high contrast resolution – as well as radiation dose and to describe how each of these may be affected by technical parameter selection. This presentation will pay particular attention to the tradeoffs that exist betw...
متن کاملPatient-centered CT imaging: New methods for patient-specific optimization of image quality and radiation dose
The patient-centered approach to imaging is an increasing focus in Radiology departments. For patients undergoing CT, this includes a personalized examination, one that provides diagnostic image quality while managing radiation dose (As Low As Reasonably Achievable, or ALARA). The Philips iPatient approach to patientcentered imaging includes new, patientspecific methods to facilitate optimal ma...
