| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the appropriate radiation dose for the low-dose abdominal CT with an iterative reconstruction (IR) technique.
The diagnostic performance of abdominal CT with IR and filtered back projection (FBP) was evaluated with radiologists, and the results showed that there was no significant difference in the diagnostic ability between IR and FBP for the same dose. Moreover, the diagnostic ability significantly decreased in images reconstructed with IR with a half dose compared to images reconstructed with FBP with a standard-dose. An aggressive dose reduction may impair the diagnostic performance even with an IR technique.
