This article illustrates that Radiologists’ perceptions of image quality and content change as they become accustomed – over time – to the different noise pattern of the various types of iterative reconstruction.
In fact, no spatial resolution or low contrast resolution is lost with iterative reconstruction techniques – and diagnostic power is maintained.
Our work here at UW Medicine agrees with this report.
And it is important to know this because iterative reconstruction can result in 30%-60% dose reduction for all types of CT, without loss of diagnostic power.
Hello. Does UW offer low rad CT angiogram? Thx
Yes.
Our CT angiograms are low radiation dose utilizing adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction, dual energy (virtual non-contrast), and lower iodine dose.
