Impact of iterative model reconstruction combined with dose reduction on the image quality of head and neck CTA in children

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the imaging quality of head and neck computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in pediatric patients at a lowered radiation dose by combining an iterative model reconstruction (IMR) with low voltage scanning. Eighty-three pediatric patients were randomized into two...
