Ultralow-Dose Abdominal Computed Tomography: Comparison of 2 Iterative Reconstruction Techniques in a Prospective Clinical Study

Conclusions: Preliminary results show that ULD abdominal CT reconstructed with iterative reconstruction techniques is achievable in smaller patients (BMI ≤ 25 kg/m2) but remains a challenge for overweight to obese patients. Lesion detection is similar in full-dose SD FBP and ULD iDose/SafeCT images, with suboptimal visibility of low-contrast lesions in ULD images.
