BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: While the use of cervical spine CT in trauma settings has
increased, the balance between image quality and dose reduction remains a concern. The …

Objective To compare image quality of a standard-dose (SD) and a low-dose (LD) cervical
spine CT protocol using filtered back-projection (FBP) and iterative reconstruction (IR) …

AIM: To evaluate radiation exposure for 64-row computed tomography (CT) of the cervical
spine comparing two optimized protocols using filtered back projection (FBP) and adaptive …

Purpose To investigate the feasibility of sub-milliSievert CT of the cervical spine in fresh
human cadavers using a standard-dose (SD) and four different reduced-dose (RD) protocols …

Purpose Superimposing soft tissue and bony structures in computed tomography (CT) of the
cervical spine (C-spine) is a limiting factor in optimizing radiation exposure maintaining an …

The purpose of this experimental study on recently deceased human cadavers was to
investigate whether (I) the radiation exposure of the cervical spine CT can be reduced …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the possible use
of low-dose multidetector CT (MDCT) in cervical clearance of patients with blunt trauma …

Our objective was to compare a single-slice CT (SS-CT) scanner with a multi-slice CT (MS-
CT) scanner in the depiction of osseous anatomic structures and fractures of the upper …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The advancement of multidetector CT technology has
resulted in improved image quality as well as an increase in ionizing radiation dose to …

The introduction of the first whole-body CT scanner in 1974 marked the beginning of cross-
sectional spine imaging. In the last decades, the technological advancement, increasing …
