Abstract:The fast developing CT technologies have complicated the protocol optimization process. Since there are increasing numbers of free parameters that can be adjusted, it is imperative to know exactly how these parameters affect the image quality. This paper examines the effect of varying dose level, tube voltage, reconstruction methods and the AEC function on the CT image quality across different sizes. A size varying phantom, consisting of five cylindrical tiers, was used. To assess the image quality, task trans… Show more
