Iterative Reconstruction

  • “ Compared with FBP, iterative image reconstruction significantly improves accuracy, specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) of coronary CT angiography for the evaluation of coronary artery stenosis in patient with heavily vessel calcification.”

  • “ In summary the results of our study suggest that accuracy, specificity, and PPV of stenosis detection with coronary CT angiography in heavily calcified vessels can be incrementally improved with the use of iterative reconstruction instead of FBP.”

  • “ In summary the results of our study suggest that accuracy, specificity, and PPV of stenosis detection with coronary CT angiography in heavily calcified vessels can be incrementally improved with the use of iterative reconstruction instead of FBP. Accordingly, iterative reconstruction should be preferentially used in patients with advanced atherosclerosis to reduce the number of unnecessary follow-up studies. ”
