Low-Dose Computed Tomography for the Optimization of Radiation Dose Exposure in Patients with Crohn’s Disease

Figure 1

(a) Conventional dose CT reconstructed with ASIR and (b) low-dose CT reconstructed with MBIR demonstrating terminal ileum mural thickening and prominent vasa recta suggestive of acute inflammation. The low-dose CT entails an approximately 75% radiation dose reduction (reduced from 3.5 mSv to 0.98 mSv).
