Figure 2 Comparison of MIP using conventional CT scanning group at 120 kVp and BMI-adapted individualized group at 80 kVp. (A) Image of a 62-year-old male patient with BMI of 22.8 kg/m2 using 80 kVp tube voltage and 300 mgI/kg contrast dose. (B) Image of a 67-year-old male patient with BMI of 23.0 kg/m2 using 120 kVp tube voltage and 500 mgI/kg contrast dose. The 80 kVp CT reduced the radiation dose in abdominal CTA while showing comparable or superior image quality.
