CT Enterography at 80 kVp With Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction Versus at 120 kVp With Standard Reconstruction: Image Quality, Diagnostic Adequacy, and Dose Reduction

Abstract

In patients weighing less than 160 lb, CT enterography examinations at 80 kVp with 30% ASIR produce diagnostically acceptable image quality with an average CTDI(vol) of 6.15 mGy and an average effective dose of 4.60 mSv.
