Parathyroidectomy is the treatment of choice for primary hyperparathyroidism when the
clinical criteria are met. Although bilateral neck exploration is traditionally the standard …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: DECT offers additional image datasets with potential
benefits, but its use for H&N imaging is not justified unless image quality is preserved …

The increase in radiation exposure due to CT scans has been of growing concern in recent
years. CT scanners differ in their capabilities, and various indications require unique …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: 4D-CT is a novel method of multiphase CT imaging. When
used to localize parathyroid adenomas and hyperplasia, this technique may allow for more …

OBJECTIVE. Inappropriate patient centering on the gantry changes the size of the localizer
radiographs used for CT examinations, influencing the operation of CT automatic tube …

Technologic advances in CT have generated a dramatic increase in the number of CT
studies, with a resultant increase in the radiation dose related to CT scanning. Such …

Objectives: Mixing low-and high-voltage acquisitions of dual-energy CT (DECT) scan using
different weighting factors leads to differences in attenuation values and image quality. The …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CT protocols should aim for radiation doses being as low
as reasonably achievable. The purpose of our study was to assess the image quality and …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the difference in absorbed organ dose
and image quality for MDCT neck protocols using automatic tube current modulation alone …

Objective To compare image qualities between vendor-neutral and vendor-specific hybrid
iterative reconstruction (IR) techniques for abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) in …
