* These statements were validated using Carestream CsI detectors in reader studies conducted by board-certified radiologists. Pairwise comparisons were performed between images at nominal exposure dose without SNC and at 50% reduced dose with SNC. The reduced-dose images included live patient images with simulated dose reduction, as well as images of human cadavers and anthropomorphic phantoms obtained using actual reduced-dose X-ray exposures. SNC performance was further confirmed using a CDRAD phantom. IEC EI values on average at nominal and reduced dose were 220 and 110, respectively.
