The Impact of Combining a Low-Tube Voltage Acquisition with Iterative Reconstruction on Total Iodine Dose in Coronary CT Angiography

Figure 1

CT values for the right coronary artery (RCA), left circumflex artery (LCx), left anterior descending artery (LAD), aorta, and muscle tissue for both study protocols and the standard of care protocol. Boxplots display the median (middle bar), upper, and lower quartiles, while the whiskers (vertical line) indicate the variability outside the upper and lower quartiles. Mild outliers are displayed as o. No significant differences were found between the CT values of the study protocols and the standard of care protocol for any of the coronary arteries.
