Abstract
With AEC, image noise on iodine-enhanced images was higher than on nonenhanced images despite identical noise index settings. As tube voltage decreased, contrast on iodine-enhanced images increased. Considering noise index and contrast variations at different tube voltages, the optimal use of AEC on iodine-enhanced computed tomography facilitates a reduction in x-ray tube output while maintaining contrast-to-noise ratio.
