Ultra-Low Dose CT Chest in Acute COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Pilot Study from India

The rapid increase in the number of CT acquisitions during the COVID-19 pandemic raised concerns about increased radiation exposure to patients and the resultant radiation-induced health risks. It prompted researchers to explore newer CT techniques like ultra-low dose CT (ULDCT), which could improve...
