Background Regular disease monitoring with low-dose high-resolution (LD-HR) computed tomography (CT) scans is necessary for the clinical management of people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). The aim of this study was to compare the image quality and radiation dose of LD-HR protocols between photon-count...
