Summary

This study tested whether a newer CT reconstruction method (ASIR) can produce clear bone SPECT images using very low radiation doses, compared to the standard method (FBP) with low doses. 75 adults scheduled for a SPECT-CT scan took part. The goal was to see if image quality stays acceptable while reducing radiation exposure.
