OBJECTIVE. This study is designed to assess the intraobserver and interobserver
agreements and the diagnostic performances of low-dose unenhanced multidetector CT …

Katz et al. could be successfully implemented. Diel et al.[11] increased the pitch to either 2.5
or 3.0 when using a single-detector helical scanner by keeping the slice thickness constant …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to compare a low-dose abdominal CT protocol,
delivering a dose of radiation close to the dose delivered by abdominal radiography, with …

Purpose: To compare the efficacy of low-dose and standard-dose computed tomography
(CT) for the diagnosis of ureteral stones. Material and Methods: Unenhanced helical CT was …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to assess the dose of ionizing radiation delivered
through the use of unenhanced CT for suspected renal colic by determining the incidence of …

Purpose: Prospective nonenhanced computerized tomography (CT) was performed for
patients presenting with renal colic and showing negative or equivocal results on plain x-ray …

AIM: To evaluate whether computed tomography (CT) of the renal tract in suspected renal
colic using reduced exposure factors maintains diagnostic accuracy. METHODS …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic yield of multislice CT using a
radiation dose equivalent to that of conventional abdominal x-ray (KUB). One hundred forty …

PURPOSE: To assess prospectively the effect of section width in multi–detector row
computed tomographic (CT) evaluation of patients with acute flank pain who are suspected …

PURPOSE: To evaluate a low-dose, nonenhanced helical computed tomographic (CT)
protocol in the detection of ureteric stones and measure the associated effective dose …
