abdominal CT scans by 23-66%. The study will be highlighted in the September issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology. Abdominal CT scans are used mainly for diagnosing the reason of pain in the abdomen or pelvis, in addition to detection of diseases in several abdominal organs such as bowel and colon. ASIR is a recently developed, low dose CT technique that permits radiologists to reduce noise in image while improving its quality, the technique also reduces the delivered radiation doses.

ASIR Significantly Reduces Radiation During Abdominal CT
According to a recent study, using a new low dose abdominal CT technique, called adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR), can reduce radiation doses delivered during abdominal CT scans by 23-66%. The study will be highlighted in the September issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology. Abdominal CT scans are used mainly for diagnosing the reason of pain in the abdomen or pelvis, in addition to detection of diseases in several abdominal organs such as bowel and colon.
