Noise as a function of monochromatic energy for the four phantom sizes (left panel). For comparison, noise levels at different polychromatic single energies are also displayed in the right panel. Note that the radiation doses in terms of CTDIvol are matched for each phantom size. The radiation dose allocated to 80 kV in the dual-energy scan was 50%.
