Figure 1 Comparison of MIP using conventional CT scanning at 120 kVp and BMI-adapted individualized kVp at 70 kVp. (A) Image of a 65-year-old female patient with BMI of 20.5 kg/m2 using 70 kVp tube voltage and 300 mgI/kg contrast dose. (B) Image of a 50-year-old female patient with BMI of 20.3 kg/m2 using 120 kVp tube voltage and 500 mgI/kg contrast dose. All images had 5 points in diagnostic confidence score.
