BACKGROUND An anti-reflux catheter (ARC) may increase the tumor absorbed dose during radioembolization (RE) by elimination of particle reflux and its effects on hemodynamics. Since the catheter is fixed in a centro-luminal position, it may also increase the predictive accuracy of a scout dose administration before treatment. The purpose of the SIM trial is to compare the effects of ARC use duri...

PurposeTo compare objective and subjective parameters in image quality radiation dose of two MDCTs (helical 64 detector CT vs. axial 256 CT) paediatric lung CT.MethodsRadiation were compared between non-enhanced from a helical 64-slice multidetector (MDCT 1) 256-slice scanner 2) with wide-cone acquisition using deep learning reconstruction. In 23 size-matched studies (age 2–18 years) each scann...
