Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoints are the frequencies of investigations with a low dose of radiation and / or a low dose of X-ray contrast agent dose in general, and per indication. The frequency of these low-dose studies is further examined using a logistic regression model. The basic model includes the variables "iterative and / or model-based image reconstruction (yes / no)" and "applied tube voltage = 100 kVp (yes / no)". Additional models are specifically charged with parameters include (eg, patient's age, experience of the physician, indication of the study, sex of the examiner). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints are the frequencies of image qualities in terms of confidence in the diagnosis (absent / poor / fair / good / excellent). The frequencies for each class image quality is analyzed using a logistic regression model. The basic model includes the variables "iterative and / or model-based image reconstruction (yes / no)" and "applied tube voltage = 100 kVp (yes / no)". Additional models are specifically charged with parameters include (eg, patient's age, weight, experience of the examiner, the indication for the study, Visipaque ™ dose (volume and / or iodine). | — |
