Low tube voltage CT for improved detection of pancreatic cancer: detection threshold for small, simulated lesions

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is associated with dismal prognosis. The detection of small pancreatic tumors which are still resectable is still a challenging problem. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of decreasing the tube voltage from 120 to 80 kV on the detection...
