Computed tomography (CT) imaging utilizes various scanning and presentation parameters to generate detailed crosssectional images of the body. Adjusting these parameters is a balance between image quality and radiation dose. Radiologists and technologists carefully optimize these parameters based on the clinical needs of each individual patient, aiming to achieve a balance between diagnostic image quality and minimizing radiation exposure.
