Résumé
The image quality of an Ultra-Low-Dose (ULD) chest CT depends on the patient's morphotype. We hypothesize that there is a threshold beyond which the diagnostic performance of a ULD chest CT is too degraded. This work assesses the influence of morphotype (Body Mass Index BMI, Maximum Transverse Chest Diameter MTCD and gender) on image quality and the diagnostic performance of a ULD chest CT.
