Image quality comparison between low-dose thin-slice deep-learning reconstruction and standard-dose thick-slice hybrid iterative reconstruction in pediatric abdominal CT

Key Points

• Low-dose thin-slice deep-learning reconstruction enhanced diagnostic confidence significantly.
• Improvements included better edge sharpness and small structure visualization with DLR.
• Analysis involved comparing low-dose and standard-dose image quality in pediatric cases.
• The findings suggest that low-dose techniques can be effective without increasing image noise.
