      Discussion

      Important topics in view of the clinical trial at SYRMEP

      Short contributions are welcome.
      - Optimization of imaging protocol (choice of energy, num. of projections, distance, dose limits, etc)
      - Optimization of pre-processing and reconstruction workflow (ring and artifact removal, reconstruction algorithm, phase- retrieval parameters)
      - Image quality evaluation & modalities for radiological assessment
      - Radiological study: recruitment criteria, aim of the trial, dose limits, etc.

      Conveners: Dr Giuliana Tromba, Renata Longo (TS)
