“ We conclude that iDose is an important tool in the reduction of radiation dose in CT. However, continuous efforts to reduce radiation dose should be pursued.” Initial Performance Characterization of a Clinical Noise Suppressing Reconstruction Algorithm for MDCT Noel PB et al. AJR 2011; 197:1404-1409
“ iDose is a hybrid iterative reconstruction algorithm that provides reduced image noise compared with the conventional filtered back projection.” Initial Performance Characterization of a Clinical Noise Suppressing Reconstruction Algorithm for MDCT Noel PB et al. AJR 2011; 197:1404-1409
“ The HU values remain stable while employing iDose. With iDose, the noise is significantly reduced. This is reflected by an improvement in the contrast to noise ration and in the noise power spectrum compared with standard reconstruction. The measurements of the modulation transfer function confirm that, with iDose, there is no decline in spatial resolution.” Initial Performance Characterization of a Clinical Noise Suppressing Reconstruction Algorithm for MDCT Noel PB et al. AJR 2011; 197:1404-1409
“ In patients weighing less than 160 lb. CT enterography examinations at 80 kVp with 30% ASIR produce diagnostically acceptable image quality with an average CTDIvol of 6.15 mGy and an average effective dose of 4.60 mSv.” CT Enterography at 80 kVp With Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction Versus at 120 kVp With Standard Reconstruction: Image Quality, Diagnostic Adequacy and Dose Reduction Kaza RK et al.
