Optimisation of computed tomography protocols for cardiac imaging using three-dimensional printing technology

Objectives: This thesis investigates the application of 3D-printing technology for optimising coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography (CCTA) protocols using iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithm as a dose optimisation strategy. The specific objectives are to: (i) design and develop a novel 3...
