OBJECTIVE: This article describes tube potential and its effect on image quality and radiation dose for CT in different body regions and clinical indications. CONCLUSION: Tube potential is an important scanning parameter for radiation dose optimization. Reduction of tube potential results in increased image contrast of iodine-enhanced CT as well as increased image noise.
