Potential of Radiation Dose Reduction by Optimizing Z-Axis Coverage in Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography on a Latest-Generation 256-Slice Scanner

Conclusions Using correct z-axis coverage in CCTA on a latest-generation 256-slice scanner yields average dose reductions of 22.0% but may be as high as 37.5%.
