Patients with lymphoma who underwent abdominopelvic CT using dual-source scanner were retrospectively recruited from a single center. CT images were obtained at 90 kVp dual-source mode reformatted in three data sets using the advanced modelled iterative reconstruction algorithm: 100% (standard-dose CT), 66.7% (low-dose CT), and 33.3% (ultralow-dose CT). Two radiologists analyzed subjective image quality and detection of abdominal enlarged lymph nodes on ultralow-dose, low-dose, and standard-dose CT blindly and independently. The results were compared with reference standards. Three readers (two radiologists and one hematologist) reviewed overall image quality and spleen size. In total, 128 consecutive CT scans (77 complete response, 44 partial response, 6 progressive disease, and 1 initial evaluation) from 86 patients (64 B-cell lymphoma, 14 T\/NK-cell lymphoma, and 8 Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma cases) were assessed. The enlarged lymph node-based detection rates for two readers were 97.0% (96\/99) and 94.0% (93\/99) on standard-dose CT, 97.0% (96\/99) and 94.0% (93\/99) on low-dose CT, and 94.0% (93\/99) and 89.9% (89\/99) on ultralow-dose CT. Overall image quality was 3.8 \u00b1 0.5, 3.9 \u00b1 0.5, and 4.1 \u00b1 0.5 on ultralow-dose CT; 4.7 \u00b1 0.4, 4.6 \u00b1 0.5, and 4.8 \u00b1 0.3 on low-dose CT; and 4.8 \u00b1 0.4, 4.7 \u00b1 0.4, and 4.9 \u00b1 0.2 on standard-dose CT, according to two radiologists and one hematologist, respectively. Intraclass correlation coefficients of spleen size were 0.90 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.87\u20130.93), 0.91 (95% CI, 0.88\u20130.93), and 0.91 (95% CI, 0.88\u20130.93) on ultralow-dose, low-dose, and standard-dose CT, respectively. Mean effective radiation doses of standard-dose, low-dose, and ultralow-dose CT were 5.7 \u00b11.8 mSv, 3.8 \u00b1 1.2 mSv, and 1.9 \u00b1 0.6 mSv, respectively. Our findings suggest that ultralow-dose and low-dose CT, even with radiation doses reduced by 66.7% and 33.3%, respectively, maintained adequate image quality. These imaging modalities may be employed for follow-up lymphoma evaluation in consideration of the long surveillance periods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0272356","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,11]],"date-time":"2022-08-11T17:28:23Z","timestamp":1660238903000},"page":"e0272356","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Low-dose abdominopelvic computed tomography in patients with lymphoma: An image quality and radiation dose reduction study"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Sungjin","family":"Yoon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kwai Han","family":"Yoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9935-2863","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"So Hyun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hawk","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jae Hoon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinny","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seong Ho","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hwa Jung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"pone.0272356.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"239","DOI":"10.1080\/17474086.2017.1281122","article-title":"Lymphoma classification update: T-cell lymphomas, Hodgkin lymphomas, and histiocytic\/dendritic cell neoplasms","volume":"10","author":"M Jiang","year":"2017","journal-title":"Exp Rev Hematol"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0272356.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"92","DOI":"10.5045\/kjh.2012.47.2.92","article-title":"Epidemiologic overview of malignant lymphoma","volume":"47","author":"J.
