Assessment of radiation dose was performed for an average scan length of 27\u2009cm. Contrast-to-noise ratio measurements and dose-independent figure-of-merit calculations of the submandibular gland, thyroid, internal jugular vein, and common carotid artery were analyzed quantitatively. Qualitative image parameters were evaluated regarding overall image quality, artifacts and reader confidence using 5-point Likert scales.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Effective radiation dose (ED) was not significantly different between SECT and DECT acquisition for each scanner generation (p = 0.10). Significantly lower effective radiation dose (p &amp;lt; 0.01) values were observed for third-generation DSCT groups C (1.1 \u00b1 0.2\u2009mSv) and D (1.0 \u00b1 0.3\u2009mSv) compared to second-generation DSCT groups A (1.8 \u00b1 0.1\u2009mSv) and B (1.6 \u00b1 0.2\u2009mSv).
