Description
Highlights: • CT images reconstructed with MBIR have improved image noise and quality compared with FBP and ASIR. • The greatest differences in image noise and quality are observed at the ultra-low dose level. • CT imaging with MBIR has the potential to significantly reduce radiation exposure. - Abstract: IntroductionThe aim of this study was to assess and compare the effects of CT image reconstruction techniques on low-dose CT image quality using phantoms.
