Popis: Objective: We assessed the effect of the forward projected model-based reconstruction technique (FIRST) on lesion detection of routine abdomen CT at 25.8 kg/m2. Diagnostic confidence for lesion assessment was optimal in LD-FIRST-STD setting in most patients regardless of their size. The inter-observer agreement (kappa-value) for overall image quality were 0.98 and 0.84 for LD-FIRST-STD and STR levels, respectively. Conclusion: FIRST enabled optimal lesion detection in routine abdomen CT at less than 1 mSv radiation dose in patients with body mass less than ≤25.8 kg/m2.
