Diagnostic Performance of Low-Dose CT for Acute Abdominal Conditions

The goal of this non-inferiority observational study is to assess the diagnostic performance of low-dose CT with deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) in adult participants with acute abdominal conditions. The main research question is: • Can low-dose CT with DLIR achieve the same diagnostic performance as standard CT for the diagnosis of acute abdominal conditions. Participants will be examined with an additional low-dose CT directly after the standard CT. Participant will be their own controls. Registration record updated on 15.05.2026 to correct entry errors (correction of sample size calculation now resulting in a larger sample size than previously stated, mixed-effects logistic regression was used for analysis of the diagnostic accuracy) so that the record reflects the study protocol in effect before enrollment of the first participant.
