Each scan requires medical judgment by the healthcare provider about exposing the patient to ionizing radiation.
In clinical practice, the use of the AIDR 3D feature may reduce CT patient dose depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location and clinical practice.
A consultation with a radiologist and a physicist should be made to determine the appropriate dose to obtain diagnostic image quality for the particular clinical task.
