Evaluation of image quality in mobile cone‐beam CT with dose modulation using automatic exposure control: A phantom study
AEC in mobile CBCT optimized radiation dose and image quality by adjusting tube current based on attenuation. The MDL protocol reduced radiation exposure while maintaining image quality, making it a viable option for verifying applicator placement and treatment planning in brachytherapy. The UHDL protocol achieved noise reduction with the maximum available tube current.
