Image based simulation of the low dose computed tomography images suggests 13 mAs 120 kV suitability for non-syndromic craniosynostosis diagnosis without iterative reconstruction algorithms

ConclusionsImages registered with 120 kV 13 mAs can be used to diagnose non-syndromic craniosynostosis with statistically same accuracy as with standard protocol and correspond to decrease of effective dose from 4.98 mSv to 0.33 mSv (median values).
