Image Quality Comparison of Two Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction (ASiR, ASiR-V) Algorithms and Filtered Back Projection in Routine Liver CT.

CONCLUSION: Both ASiR and ASiR-V improved the objective and subjective image quality for routine liver CT compared with FBP. ASiR-V provided further image quality improvement with higher acceptable percentage than ASiR, and ASiR-V60% had the highest image quality score. Advances in knowledge: Both ASiR and ASiR-V significantly reduce image noise compared with conventional FBP reconstruction ASiR-V with 60% blending percentage provides the highest image quality score in routine liver CT.
