Combining automatic tube current modulation with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction for low-dose chest CT screening.

To reduce radiation dose while maintaining image quality in low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) by combining adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) and automatic tube current modulation (ATCM).Patients undergoing cancer screening (n = 200) were subjected to 64-slice multidetector c...
