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

Figure 2

(a, c) Conventional dose axial and coronal CT reconstructed with ASIR and (b, d) low-dose axial and coronal CT reconstructed with MBIR demonstrating mural thickening at the terminal ileum and adjacent mild fat stranding consistent with acute inflammation. The low-dose CT entails an approximately 75% radiation dose reduction.
