ASIR reconstruction cuts CT perfusion dose
By Eric Barnes
Friday, December 4 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SST15-01 | Room S404ABWith the rise in CT perfusion for numerous diagnostic tasks -- like cerebral blood flow assessment and follow-up for cancer patients -- the higher radiation doses associated with perfusion can be troubling. But adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) technique can reap the benefits with lower radiation dose, according to this Friday morning presentation.

Blending ASIR and back-projection algorithms saves chest dose, time
By Eric Barnes
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSG03-07 | Room S404CDThis study from Massachusetts General Hospital, scheduled to be presented Tuesday morning, aimed to find the optimal blend of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) and filtered back projection (FBP) reconstruction for low-dose and rapid chest CT.

ASIR reconstruction boosts diagnostic power in HRCT of diffuse lung disease
By Eric Barnes
Monday, November 30 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSE06-06 | Room S404CDHigh-resolution CT (HRCT) with thin slices and high-spatial-frequency algorithms is the gold standard for evaluating diffuse lung disease. Most high-resolution CT scans are reconstructed using filtered back projection, but a new algorithm -- adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) -- may offer better image quality.
