Dose reduction in 64-row whole-body CT in multiple trauma: an optimized CT protocol with iterative image reconstruction on a gemstone-based scintillator.
Evaluation of potential dose savings by implementing adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASiR) on a gemstone-based scintillator in a clinical 64-row whole-body CT (WBCT) protocol after multiple trauma. ⋯ Recent technical developments can significantly reduce radiation dose of WBCT in multiple trauma. Dose reductions of 10-34% can be achieved.
