Optimal dose reduction algorithm using an attenuation-based tube current modulation method for cone-beam CT imaging.

To reduce the radiation dose given to patients, a tube current modulation (TCM) method has been widely used in diagnostic CT systems. However, the TCM method has not yet been applied to a kV-CBCT system on a LINAC machine. The purpose of this study is to investigate if a TCM method would be desirabl...
