Low-Tube-Voltage, High-Tube-Current Multidetector Abdominal CT: Improved Image Quality and Decreased Radiation Dose with Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction Algorithm—Initial Clinical Experience

Abstract

Compared with standard FBP reconstruction, an ASIR algorithm improves image quality and has the potential to decrease radiation dose at low-tube-voltage, high-tube-current multidetector abdominal CT during the late hepatic arterial phase.
