Quantitative image quality assessment.
Example for the assessment of quantitative image quality of lung parenchyma by positioning a region of interest (ROI) and measuring Hounsfield units (HU) and image noise (standard deviation of the attenuation value). A) 3rd generation Sn150kVp protocol. B) 2nd generation 100kVp protocol.

Example images of the two protocols with corresponding DLP.
Images of both protocols with corresponding dose-length product (DLP). A) 3rd generation Sn150kVp protocol: DLP = 81.5 mGy*cm. B) 2nd generation 100kVp protocol: DLP = 208 mGy*cm.
