Radiation Dose Reduction in Paranasal Sinus CT: With Feasibility of Iterative Reconstruction Technique

Conclusions
With low-dose CT, the radiation dose can be decreased to 22% of that of standard-dose CT without affecting the image quality. Low-dose CT can be considered the minimum optimal radiation for patients who need surgery. Iterative model reconstruction is not useful for assessing the anatomic details of the paranasal sinus on CT.
