Emphysema quantification using chest CT: influence of radiation dose reduction and reconstruction technique

Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT) emphysema quantification is affected by both radiation dose (i.e. image noise) and reconstruction technique. At reduced dose, filtered back projection (FBP) results in an overestimation of the amount of emphysema due to higher noise levels, while the use...
