Ultra-low-dose Whole-body CT Using AI-based CT Reconstruction in Patients With Multiple Myeloma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This prospective study aims to perform intra-individual comparison of the image quality between ultra-low-dose whole-body CT with deep learning reconstruction and conventional low-dose whole-body CT with iterative reconstruction in patients with suspected multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma Patients with suspicion of multiple myeloma and scheduled for CT |
Diagnostic Test: noncontrast-enhanced whole-body CT
noncontrast-enhanced low-dose whole-body CT using dual-source CT scanner using A-tube (75% radiation) and B-tube (25% radiation).
conventional low-dose CT data (A +B tubes, 100% dose) are reconstructed with iterative reconstruction
ultra-low dose CT data (B-tube only, 25% dose) are reconstructed with deep learning commercially available software.
