Fig. 2 —Effect of helical pitch on radiation dose. A and
B, Schematic presentations of scanning with standard (A) and
high-pitch (x2) (B) protocols. Total scanning time (i.e.,
exposure time) for high-pitch protocol is half that of standard protocol.
Consequently, total radiation dose will be halved in high-pitch protocol and
tube current will be kept constant.
