Official Title: Pilot Study of Model Based Iterative Reconstruction Using 64-Slice Multidetector-Row CT Datasets Obtained From the Central Nervous System, Thorax, and Abdomen
Study ID: NCT01431378
Brief Summary: This study is being performed to confirm that the new technique, Model-Based Iterative Reconstruction (MBIR) with reduced radiation dose can deliver equivalent image quality for CT scans compared to current techniques (Filtered Back Projection with Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction (FBP with ASiR) and also to demonstrate that MBIR can improve general image quality characteristics at equivalent radiation dose levels.
