Excerpt

In the paper “Maximizing dose reductions with cardiac CT” by Dr. Budoff (DOI 10.​1007/​s10554-008-9405-2), which recently appeared on Online First, the author makes the following statement on page 3: “Slower heart rates will lead to more effective use of dose modulation and lower radiation doses (with the exception of the dual-source scanner, where slower heart rates will increase radiation exposure)”. I believe this statement is potentially misleading for the readers and needs clarification. …
