Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: To investigate potential radiation dose reduction for multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) exams of the spine by using sparse sampling and virtually lowered tube currents combined with statistical iterative reconstruction (SIR). METHODS: MDCT data of 26 patients (68.9 ± 11.7 years, 42.3% males) were retrospectively simulated as if the scans were acquired at 50%, 10%, 5%, and 3% of the original X-ray tube current or number of projections, using SIR for image reconstructions.
