Effect of iterative reconstruction and temporal averaging on contour sharpness in dynamic myocardial CT perfusion: Sub-analysis of the prospective 4D CT perfusion pilot study.

PURPOSE:Myocardial computed tomography perfusion (CTP) allows the assessment of the functional relevance of coronary artery stenosis. This study investigates to what extent the contour sharpness of sequences acquired by dynamic myocardial CTP is influenced by the following noise reduction methods: t...
