Abstract
Background X-ray tube voltage (kVp) reduction increases intravenous contrast medium (CM) attenuation at computed tomography (CT), but tube output limits its use in large patients. Purpose To evaluate the feasibility and image quality of reducing CM dose by low kVp and using dual X-ray source at liver CT. Material and Methods Patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 45 mL/min (n = 43) aged 60–91 years (75 ± 7.7), weighing...
