The impact of pitch values on image quality and radiation dose in an abdominal adult phantom using CT

Different parameters on CT can be used to reduce the patient radiation dose. One of these parameters is pitch, which is defined as the table movement per 360 degrees rotation time divided by the beam width. The use of a high pitch can reduce the radiation dose and the scan time. When the CT scan is...
