Comparing Fourth Generation Statistical Iterative Reconstruction Technique to Standard Filtered Back Projection in Pediatric Head Computed Tomography Examinations

Conclusions We conclude that iDose4 is effective at allowing significant radiation dose reduction while maintaining or, rarely, even improving quantitative image quality compared with FBP in the setting of pediatric head CT examinations. However, for certain qualitative image quality parameters in older-aged children, the use of iDose4 resulted in a poorer performance compared with FBP.
