Japanese Survey of Radiation Dose Associated With Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography - 2013 Data From a Multicenter Registry in Daily Practice.
CONCLUSIONS: The coronary CTA radiation dose was relatively high in 2013, and it varied significantly between institutions. Effective strategies for radiation dose reduction were low tube voltage ≤100 kVp, retrospective ECG-gated scanning with dose modulation technique, prospective ECG-gated scanning, and the iterative reconstruction technique.
