Evidence gathers behind new CT reconstruction method
By Eric Barnes
An investigational raw-data-based iterative reconstruction scheme is getting high marks for image quality and dose reduction. Several research groups compared the reconstruction technique with standard filtered back-projection reconstructed images and found higher-quality images at around half the dose.
