Iterative recon delivers quality CCTA at well under 1 mSv
By Eric Barnes
Researchers from China and the U.S. have succeeded in producing ultralow-dose coronary CT angiography (CCTA) exams in a wide range of patients using iterative reconstruction. In the process, they've helped redefine low-dose CCTA to mean far less than 1 mSv in all patients, according to study results published in JACC Cardiovascular Imaging.
