Triple-rule-out dual-source CT angiography of patients with acute chest pain: dose reduction potential of 100 kV scanning.
To investigate the dose reduction potential of low kV triple-rule-out dual-source CT angiography (TRO-CTA) in non-obese (BMI ≤ 25 kg/m(2)) patients with acute chest pain. ⋯ TRO-CTA with 100 kV is feasible in non-obese patients and results in diagnostic image quality and significantly reduced radiation dose.
