Improvement in image quality in obese patients by using a new x-ray tube and Deep Learning Image Reconstruction in Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography
Abstract:Purpose: When performing coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in obese patients, it is a challenge to obtain diagnostic image quality. Theoretically, higher tube currents improve image quality in obese patients by reducing noise, but this comes with an increased radiation as a trade-off. Deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) is a technique that should reduce noise and improve image quality without the need of a higher radiation dose. This study assessed the impact of higher tube currents and DLI… Show more
