Diagnostic quality, radiation exposure, and biological damage and responses following exposure at different kv values during pulmonary CT angiography
CTPA can be performed at a low kV of 80 kV without loss of diagnostic quality. Unlike the increase in DNA damage as the kV value increased, the increase in oxidative stress parameters was not found to be significant. In addition, the decrease in TAS value was significant only for the 100 kV and 120 kV groups.
