| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between radiation dose and image quality in a head CT examination. Our designed head phantom was employed as a target object and was scanned using a 64-raw MDCT. Lens doses increased with tube voltage and effective mAs. The image noise reduced as tube voltage and effective mAs increased. However, for larger than 252 mAs, the image noise level for 120 kV was almost the same as that for 140 kV. For larger than 252 mAs, the streak artifacts for 100 kV had the same level as for 120 and 140 kV and the streak artifacts were most noticeable for 80 kV. The SNR was highest at 100 kV.
