Background!#!Radiation dose at CT should be as low as possible without compromising diagnostic quality.!##!Objective!#!To assess the potential for maximum dose reduction of pediatric lung dual-source CT with spectral shaping and advanced iterative reconstruction (ADMIRE).!##!Materials and methods!#!We retrospectively analyzed dual-source CT acquisitions in a full-dose group (FD: 100 kV, 64 reference mAs) and in three groups with spectral shaping and differing reference mAs values (Sn: 100 kV, 96/64/32 reference mAs), each group consisting of 16 patients (age mean 11.5 years, standard deviation 4.8 years, median 12.8 years, range 1.3-18 years). Advanced iterative reconstruction of images was performed with different strengths (FD: ADMIRE Level 2; Sn: ADMIRE Levels 2, 3 and 4). We analyzed dose parameters and measured noise. Diagnostic confidence and detectability of lung lesions as well as anatomical structures were assessed using a Likert scale (from 1 [unacceptable] to 4 [fully acceptable]).!##!Results!#!Compared to full dose, effective dose was reduced to 16.7% in the Sn 96 group, 11.1% in Sn64, and 5.5% in Sn32 (P<0.001). Noise values of Sn64!##!Conclusion!#!In pediatric lung dual-source CT, spectral shaping together with ADMIRE 4 enable radiation dose reduction to about 10% of a full-dose protocol while maintaining an acceptable diagnostic quality.
