Effect of iDose4 Iterative Reconstruction Algorithm on Image Quality and Radiation Exposure in Prospective and Retrospective Electrocardiographically Gated Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography

ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that the application of iDose at CCTA facilitates significant radiation dose reduction by maintaining diagnostic quality. The combination of iDose4 with prospective acquisition is able to significantly reduce effective dose associated with CTCA at values of approximately 2 mSv and even lower.
