CT projection data are provided for both full and simulated lower dose levels and CT image data reconstructed using the commercial CT system are provided for the full dose projection data. For patients scanned on the SOMATOM Definition Flash CT scanner from Siemens Healthcare, CT image data reconstructed using the commercial CT system are also provided for the lower dose projection data. All CT images were reconstructed using a filtered back projection method. Several instructional documents are provided to help users extract needed information from the DICOM-CT-PD files, including a dictionary file for the DICOM-CT-PD format, a DICOM-CT-PD reader, and a user manual.\r\n\r\nThis collection comprises 99 head scans (labeled N for neuro), 100 chest scans (labeled C for chest), and 100 abdomen scans (labeled L for liver). Fifty cases for each scan type are from a SOMATOM Definition Flash CT scanner (Siemens Healthcare, Forchheim, Germany). Forty-nine head cases, 50 chest cases, and 50 abdomen cases are from a Lightspeed VCT CT scanner (GE Healthcare, Waukesha, WI). Together, these data will greatly facilitate the development and validation of new CT reconstruction and\/or denoising algorithms, including those associated with machine learning or artificial intelligence.\r\n<h3>Acquisition protocol<\/h3>\r\nAll CT scans were acquired at routine dose levels for the practice at which they were obtained using standard-clinical protocols for the anatomical region of interest. Each clinical case was processed to include a second projection dataset at a simulated lower dose level.\u00a0 Head and abdomen cases are provided at 25% of the routine dose and chest cases are provided at 10% of the routine dose.\r\n\r\n<sup>1<\/sup>Additional information regarding the CT projection data format:\u00a0Chen B, Duan X, Yu Z, Leng S, Yu L, McCollough CH.
