Results: All protocols produced scans in which the numerical data were sufficient for a migration analysis at least as precise as would be expected using RSA. A protocol with an effective dose of 0.70 mSv was shown to be applicable in a pilot patient. Conclusion: Low-dose CT scans with an...
To assess whether chest computed tomography (CT) scores from ultra-low-dose end-expiratory scans alone could suffice for assessment of all cystic fibrosis (CF)-related structural lung abnormalities. In this institutional review board-approved study, 20 patients with CF aged 6-20 years (eight males...
