ASIR-HD reconstruction results in superior visualization of subtle and tiny anatomic structures and lesions in diffuse lung disease compared with ASIR and filtered back projection reconstructions.

There is a significant sex difference in normal thymic appearance in 20-30-year-old men and women. The thymus of 20-30-year-old women typically exhibits higher attenuation and more commonly exhibits a quadrilateral configuration.

Introduction: Mediastinal lesions are uncommon; studies on their distribution are, in general, small and from a single institution. Furthermore, these studies are usually based on pathology or surgical databases and, therefore, miss many lesions that did not undergo biopsy or resection. Our aim was to identify the distribution of lesions in the mediastinum in a large international, multi-institutional cohort.Methods: At each participating institution, a standardized retrospective radiology database search was performed for interpretations of computed tomography, positron emission

FBP, SafeCT, ASIR, and MBIR can enable optimal lesion evaluation on chest CT acquired at a volume CT dose index of 2 mGy. However, all submillisievert reconstruction techniques were suboptimal for visualization of mediastinal structures. Submillisievert MBIR images were suboptimal for visibility of normal lung structures despite showing lower image noise.
