Evaluation of the effect of the introduction of iterative reconstruction (iDose) on dose length product (mGy.cm) and effective dose (mSv) across CT protocols.

1Dose length product, measured in mGy.cm
2Effective dose calculated using ImPACT in mSv
3Mean rank of DLP / Effective Dose before and following iDose. using the Mann Whitney U test (a rank-order (or nonparametric test) which assesses whether the before and after scores have a similar ranked distribution).
4Statistical significance of the difference in the mean rank DLP / mean Effective Dose following iDose compared with prior to iDose (ie probability of the scores belonging to a single group).
*Statistically significant (p<0.05) difference in mean rank DLP / Effective Dose following introduction of iDose.
