Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of ultra-low
dose (ULD) to that of standard (STD) computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis of non …

Purpose The aim of this study is to describe our initial experience using ULDCT performed
in the emergency room in the evaluation of acute abdominal pathology. Methods Data from …

Background Patients with acute non-traumatic abdominal pain often undergo abdominal
computed tomography (CT). However, abdominal CT is associated with high radiation …

The aim of this study was to evaluate a non-enhanced ultra-low-dose (ULD) abdominal–
pelvic multi-detector row computerized tomography (MDCT) to assess patients with acute …

Objectives To determine if radiation dose delivered by contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) for
acute abdominal pain can be reduced to the dose administered in abdominal radiography (< …

Objectives Performance of a modified abdominopelvic CT protocol reconstructed using full
iterative reconstruction (IR) was assessed for imaging patients presenting with acute …

Background: To compare low‐dose abdominal computed tomography (LDCT) with plain
abdominal radiography (AR) in the primary investigation of acute abdominal pain to …

Objectives Abdominal radiography is frequently used in acute abdominal non-traumatic pain
despite the availability of more advanced diagnostic modalities. This study evaluates the …

Importance Intravenous (IV) contrast medium is sometimes withheld due to risk of
complication or lack of availability in patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) for …

Background To evaluate a reduced range CT protocol in patients with suspected acute
appendicitis as compared to standard abdominal CT regarding diagnostic performance …
