Influence of spectral shaping and tube voltage modulation in ultralow-dose computed tomography of the abdomen

Abstract Purpose Unenhanced abdominal CT constitutes the diagnostic standard of care in suspected urolithiasis. Aiming to identify potential for radiation dose reduction in this frequent imaging task, this experimental study compares the effect of spectral shaping and tube voltage modulation on imag...
