PURPOSE: To compare new and conventional versions of model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) in reduced-dose computed tomography (CT) in terms of diagnostic performance for hepatic steatosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Images were reconstructed from standard-dose and aggressively reduced-dose (the dose-length product was reduced by 91 %) unenhanced abdominopelvic CT scans of 86 patients using filtered back projection (SD-FBP) and new and conventional versions of MBIR (RD-MBIRn and RD-MBIRc), respectively. The mean CT attenuation of the liver (CT[L]) and the spleen as well as the ratio of these parameters (CT[L/S]) were calculated. CT[L] <48 Hounsfield units (HU) and CT[L/S] <1.1 were applied to SD-FBP (used as the reference standard; the number of positive patients was 12 and 14, respectively), RD-MBIRn, and RD-MBIRc. RESULTS: CT[L]s in SD-FBP/RD-MBIRn/RD-MBIRc were 56.9/55.9/52.8 HU. The difference in CT[L] between RD-MBIRn and SD-FBP was within ±5.0 HU in most cases. The sensitivity/specificity/accuracy of CT[L] <48 HU in RD-MBIRn and RD-MBIRc were 1.00/0.97/0.98 and 1.00/0.92/0.93, respectively, showing that RD-MBIRn permits significant improvements in specificity and accuracy (P < 0.05, McNemar test). For CT[L/S] <1.1, these values were 0.79/0.97/0.94 and 0.79/0.97/0.94 in RD-MBIRn and RD-MBIRc, respectively. CONCLUSION: When CT[L] <48 HU was applied, RD-MBIRn presented a significantly improved hepatic steatosis diagnostic performance compared with RD-MBIRc; indeed, it was almost equivalent to that afforded by SD-FBP.
