Abstract

This article describes a quantitative evaluation of visualizing small vessels using several image reconstruction methods in computed tomography. Simulated vessels with diameters of 1–6 mm made by 3D printer was scanned using 320-row detector computed tomography (CT). Hybrid iterative reconstruction (hybrid IR) and model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) were performed for the image reconstruction. Keywords: Computed tomography (CT), CT angiography, Image reconstruction, Hybrid iterative reconstruction, Model-based iterative reconstruction
