Abstract

This study investigates the effect of radiation dose reduction of a renal perfusion CT protocol on quantitative imaging features for patients of different sizes. Our findings indicate that the impact of dose reduction is significantly different between patients of different sizes for standard deviation, entropy, and GLCM joint average at all dose levels evaluated, and for mean at the lowest dose level evaluated (p < .001). These results suggest that a size-based scanning protocol may be needed to provide quantitative results that are robust with respect to patient size.
