Low-iodine-dose computed tomography coupled with an artificial intelligence-based contrast-boosting technique in children: a retrospective study on comparison with conventional-iodine-dose computed tomography.

Low-iodine-dose abdominal CT, combined with an AI-based contrast-boosting technique exhibited comparable organ and vessel enhancement, as well as lesion conspicuity compared to standard-iodine-dose CT in children. Moreover, image noise decreased in the contrast-boosted group, albeit with an increase in artifacts.
