Optimization of Computed Tomography Protocols: Limitations of a Methodology Employing a Phantom with Location-Known Opacities.

This study aimed to determine if phantom-based methodologies for optimization of hepatic lesion detection with computed tomography (CT) require randomization of lesion placement and inclusion of normal images. A phantom containing fixed opacities of varying size (diameters, 2.4, 4.8, and 9.5 mm) was...
