A low tube voltage (70kVp) in combination with a half-dose iodine load using a low-concentration contrast agent and an iterative reconstruction algorithm in high tube output dual-source CT may improve the contrast enhancement and image quality in multiphasic dynamic CT of the abdomen in patients under 71 kg of body weight.
