摘要：
OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to compare image quality and radiation dose associated with abdominopelvic CT using combined modulation, angular modulation, and constant tube current. CONCLUSION. Compared with using a constant tube current to scan the abdomen and pelvis, the use of a combined modulation technique results in a substantial reduction (42-44%) in radiation dose with acceptable image noise and diagnostic acceptability.
