Thoracic-abdominopelvic contrast-enhanced dual-source computed tomography with a high-pitch acquisition protocol and free breathing for reducing motion artifacts and scan time in patients with cancer: a prospective study
High-pitch DSCT in non-breath-holding patients with cancer can largely reduce scan time while preserving image quality and maintaining a lower effective radiation dose. For non-breath-holding patients, the high-pitch DSCT may greatly improve image quality and the success rate of CT examinations.
