Impact of iodine concentration and scan parameters on image quality, contrast enhancement and radiation dose in thoracic CT

Abstract Background We investigated the impact of varying contrast medium (CM) densities and x-ray tube potentials on contrast enhancement (CE), image quality and radiation dose in thoracic computed tomography (CT) using two different scanning techniques. Methods Seven plastic tubes containing seven...
