A Study to Determine the Tradeoffs between CT Image Quality and Patient Radiation Dose

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the tradeoffs between CT image quality and patient radiation dose in a way that moves beyond current simple models (e.g. standard deviation and CTDIvol) by investigating the relationships between task-based metrics of image quality, observer performance, patient size, and patient dose.
