Low-dose expiration-weighted 3D µCT yields equally high image quality as a 4D respiratory-gated protocol. (A) Specifications of the 3D and 4D imaging protocols compared with representative reconstructed tomographic images at the level of lung and heart for both protocols, along with graphs of (B) signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio compared for the respiratory-gated 4D (n = 8) and the expiration-weighted 3D µCT protocol (n = 12). Data presented as individual values, group mean and 95% confidence intervals.
