Image Quality and Patient-Specific Organ Doses in Stone Protocol CT: A Comparison of Traditional CT to Low Dose CT with Iterative Reconstruction

<div>Organ-specific radiation doses to liver, stomach, skin, and uterus (female patients only) calculated for two different patient cohorts utilizing FBP-CT or IR-CT and based on effective body diameter measurements. Mean FBP-CT dose was 2-3-fold higher than IR-CT dose with highest dose savings for patients size between 25 cm and 32 cm EBD.</div>
