Image Quality in Oncologic Chest Computerized Tomography With Iterative Reconstruction: A Phantom Study

Conclusions: Quantitative image quality parameters in oncologic chest CT are improved with MBIR compared with FBP and simpler iterative reconstruction algorithms. Artifacts at low doses are reduced. A shift in HU values was shown; thus, absolute HU values should be used with care.
