Effects of Model-Based Iterative Reconstruction on Image Quality for Low-Dose Computed Tomographic Angiography of the Thoracic Aorta in a Swine Model

Conclusions: Model-based iterative reconstruction reduces relative noise and improves CNR compared with ASIR and FBP at all kVp and mA settings, which were significantly greater at lower mA settings.
