Low-dose lung CT: Optimizing diagnostic radiation dose – A phantom study
Determination of image sharpness on line density profiles can be used as quantitative measure for image quality of lung CT. Sufficient-quality lung CT can be achieved at effective radiation doses of 0.13 mSv (adult phantom) and 0.08 mSv (paediatric phantom). These findings suggest that substantial dose reduction is feasible without compromising diagnostic accuracy.
