Iterative reconstruction techniques for CT were once limited to dose reduction. But a new generation of iterative reconstruction algorithms is focused on image quality, processing data more rapidly and delivering more-natural looking images as well.

The additional imaging “horsepower” wielded by the new applications can be used to further reduce doses in coronary CT angiography and throughout the body — or to ameliorate the effects of other common scanning complications.
