Abstract

Objectives

To assess the benefit and limits of iterative reconstruction of paediatric chest and abdominal computed tomography (CT).

Methods

The study compared adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) with filtered back projection (FBP) on 64-channel MDCT. A phantom study was first performed using variable tube potential, tube current and ASIR settings. The assessed image quality indices were the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the noise power spectrum, low contrast detectability (LCD) and spatial resolution. A clinical retrospective study of 26 children (M:F = 14/12, mean age: 4 years, range: 1–9 years) was secondarily performed allowing comparison of 18 chest and 14 abdominal CT pairs, one with a routine CT dose and FBP reconstruction, and the other with 30 % lower dose and 40 % ASIR reconstruction. Two radiologists independently compared the images for overall image quality, noise, sharpness and artefacts, and measured image noise.

Results

The phantom study demonstrated a significant increase in SNR without impairment of the LCD or spatial resolution, except for tube current values below 30–50 mA. On clinical images, no significant difference was observed between FBP and reduced dose ASIR images.

Conclusion

Iterative reconstruction allows at least 30 % dose reduction in paediatric chest and abdominal CT, without impairment of image quality.

Key points

• Iterative reconstruction helps lower radiation exposure levels in children undergoing CT.
• Adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) significantly increases SNR without impairing spatial resolution.
• For abdomen and chest CT, ASIR allows at least a 30 % dose reduction.
