CT radiation dose reduction with tin filter for localisation/characterisation level image quality in PET-CT: a phantom study
Large CT dose reductions can be made using the tin filter at Sn100kV, when imaging bone, lung and soft tissue at L/C level CT image quality in PET-CT. As well as reducing the risk of inducing a cancer in later life, such dose reductions may also impact PET-CT practice, such as justifying cross-sectional over planar imaging or justifying PET-CT in younger patients.
