Statement of Purpose:
Radiation exposure from multidetector CT (MDCT) has become a pressing public health concern in both lay and medical publications. Implementation of iterative reconstruction offers radiologists the ability to minimize radiation exposure from MDCT scans while preserving and, in some cases, improving image quality. Participants will gain understanding of the theory behind iterative reconstruction, its uses in a modern radiology department and how to successfully deploy using a stepwise approach.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
· Identify the evolution of reconstruction algorithms for CT
· Recognize the advantages and limitations of iterative reconstruction
· Apply iterative reconstruction for dose reduction
· Apply iterative reconstruction for bariatrics, artifact reduction including synergy with metal artifact reduction, enhancing image quality and low kVp imaging
· Implement iterative reconstruction in your practice
Intended Audience:
Radiologists, radiology technologists, all oncology and radiology staff.
