An intraindividual comparison of radiation dose and image quality was conducted. The study measured the dose-length product, volumetric CT dose index, effective dose and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Three blinded radiologists assessed the overall image quality, image sharpness, and image noise using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (deficient) to 5 (very good) for image quality and image sharpness and from 1 (very high) to 5 (very low) for image noise.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      PCCT used approximately 42% less radiation dose than EID-CT (median effective dose 0.54\n                      <jats:italic>versus<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.93\u2009mSv,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
