CBCT Dose Is Reduced with Angular Tube Current Modulation While Maintaining Image Quality and Reducing Photon Starvation Artifacts.
PURPOSE This study evaluated whether scout-derived angular tube current modulation (ATCM) in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) can reduce radiation dose while preserving image quality. ATCM is routine in helical CT but remains absent from clinical CBCT and is largely unexplored in the literature. METHODS A project...
