CT images were reconstructed using DLR, Hybrid IR, and FBP. Quantitative image quality metrics, such as contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and image noise, were measured. Three radiologists independently assessed DVT lesion detection, depiction of DVT lesions and normal structures, subjective image noise, artifacts, and overall image quality using scoring systems. Diagnostic performance was evaluated using sensitivity and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The paired <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test compared the results for continuous variables and ordinal scales, respectively, between DLR and Hybrid IR as well as between DLR and FBP.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>DLR significantly improved CNR and reduced image noise compared to Hybrid IR and FBP (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). AUC and sensitivity for DVT detection were not statistically different across reconstruction methods. Two readers reported improved lesion visualization with DLR. DLR was also rated superior in image quality, normal structure depiction, and noise suppression by all readers (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>DLR enhances image quality and anatomical clarity in CT venography.
