Fig. 2From: Impact of iodine concentration and scan parameters on image quality, contrast enhancement and radiation dose in thoracic CTMeasured contrast enhancement (CE) values as a result of employed specific HU values between 0 and 600 HU at 70–140 kVp when using dose modulation (a, b and c) and constant volume computed tomography dose index (CTDIvol) (d, e and f) for the three different phantom sizes. The horizontal line displays the reference diagnostic enhancement level of ≥ 200 HUBack to article page
