International CT Image Contest by Siemens

A meaningful activity in the CT arena is worth sharing with you all. Getting the highest possible CT image quality at the lowest possible radiation dose to benefit the patients is challenging. Radiation dose reduction is currently the focus of attention of both the physicians and equipment vendors. Check out the Siemens International CT Image Contest - "highest image quality at lowest dose".
