“…To a first approximation, the dose is proportional to the square of kVp and, as a corollary, the noise in the image is inversely proportional to the kVp [61,62]. Soft-tissue contrast, and in particular lesion versus normal tissue constrast, increases with decreasing values of kVp [6,63].…”

“…In developed countries, CT examinations account for more than 47% of population dose while representing less than 17% of all diagnostic medical examinations [4,5]. Furthermore, recent studies have shown a statistically significant increase of life-time risk of radiation-induced cancer from CT examinations [6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…Normally in CTC scans, 80 kVp -140 kVp is used based on clinical task. Variation of HU as a function of kVp was discussed in a recent clinical study (Table 1); (Kalender, 2006;Huda, 2015). Their study involved normal size patients.…”

“…[11,19,20] Imaging studies can produce false positives/negatives and expose patients to radiation. [21] Acknowledging these limitations emphasizes the ongoing need for research to refine existing methods and explore complementary approaches for more accurate and comprehensive oral cancer diagnostics. P90, alternatively identified as KIAA1524 and Cancerous Inhibitor of PP2A (CIP2A), exhibits elevated expression levels in both oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines and tissues.…”
