Technical Note: Radiation dose reduction from computed tomography localizer radiographs using a tin spectral shaping filter

Abstract: Purpose To evaluate the possibility of lowering radiation dose from a localizer radiograph (LR) using a tin spectral shaping filter and to investigate the effect of this adaptation on the radiation dose and image quality of subsequent computed tomography (CT) examination. Methods The study utilized a set of semianthropomorphic abdomen phantoms, representing small, medium, and large patients. The LR scans were performed with and without a tin spectral shaping filter using various kVp/mA settings. The tube curre… Show more

“…Among these, the spectral shaping technique combined with advanced model‐based iterative reconstruction (ADMIRE)—which is the third‐generation of dual‐source CT—significantly reduces the radiation dose that patients are subjected to without noticeable compromises in IQ. 12 , 13 , 14 For instance, Messerli et al.’s 10 study has shown overall 91% sensitivity in detecting PN in individuals with all levels of weight. In their study, the sensitivity of ULDCT decreased with increasing body mass index (BMI).…”

“…Die Anwendbarkeit der Methode zu diesem Ziel wurde in zahlreichen vorangegangenen Studien gezeigt, sowohl im Hinblick auf die erreichbare Strahlenreduktion als auch auf die gleichbleibend hohe Bildqualität. Anwendungen erfolgten bei der CT des Köperstammes einschließlich der Erzeugung der Topogramme [5][6][7][8] als auch im Rahmen der Diagnostik bei Urolithiasis [9][10][11]. Auswirkungen auf die Bildqualität bei Steinlagekontrollen bei Urolithiasis und bereits therapeutisch eingebrachter Harnleiterschiene wurden hingegen bisher nicht dediziert untersucht, sind aber von besonderem Interesse, da es hier aufgrund der gegebenen PSF des Abbildungssystems lokal zu Artefakten durch die einliegende Harnleiterschiene kommen kann und der Effekt des Zinnfilters auf diese nicht bekannt ist.…”

“…The option of spectral filtering has been introduced into routine diagnostics with the current generation of computer tomo-graphs. This is associated with the possibility of a significant dose reduction with good diagnostic image quality, as has been demonstrated in numerous studies in examinations with a variety of indications [5][6][7][8] including urolithiasis [9][10][11]. However, effects of dose-reducing spectral filtering on image quality with a ureteral stent directly adjacent to a calculus were not explicitly investigated.…”
