Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the lowest radiation dose needed for effective detection of high-resolution lung structures, pulmonary nodules, and infectious diseases using a preclinical CT trial on a cadaver.
- Results showed significant differences in radiation doses among the different protocols, with high-resolution imaging requiring the most exposure, while the minimum diagnostic (MIN) protocol exhibited borderline image quality for some conditions.
- Overall, individualized chest CT protocols can significantly reduce radiation exposure (up to 97% for MIN) while maintaining sufficient diagnostic quality, potentially benefiting over 50% of patients in a clinical setting.
