    Abstract Objective: Evaluation of potential dose savings by implementing adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASiR) on a gemstone-based scintillator in a clinical 64-row whole-body CT (WBCT) protocol after multiple trauma.
    Methods: Dose reports of 152 WBCT scans were analysed for two 64-row multidetector CT scanners (Scanners A and B); the main scanning parameters were kept constant. ASiR and a gemstone-based scintillator were used in Scanner B, and the noise index was adjusted (head: 5.2 vs 6.0; thorax/abdomen: 29.0 vs 46.0). The scan length, CT dose index (CTDI) and dose-length product (DLP) were analysed. The estimated mean effective dose was calculated using normalized conversion factors. Student's t-test was used for statistics.
    Results: Both the mean CTDI (mGy) (Scanner A: 53.8 ± 2.0, 10.3 ± 2.5, 14.4 ± 3.7; Scanner B: 48.7 ± 2.2, 7.1 ± 2.3, 9.1 ± 3.6; p < 0.001, respectively) and the mean DLP (mGy cm) (Scanner A: 1318.9 ± 167.8, 509.3 ± 134.7, 848.8 ± 254.0; Scanner B: 1190.6 ± 172.6, 354.6 ± 128.3, 561.0 ± 246.7; p < 0.001, respectively) for the head, thorax and abdomen were significantly reduced with Scanner B. There was no relevant difference in scan length. The total mean effective dose (mSv) was significantly decreased with Scanner B (24.4 ± 6.0, 17.2 ± 5.8; p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: The implementation of ASiR and a gemstone-based scintillator allows for significant dose savings in a clinical WBCT protocol.
    Advances in knowledge: Recent technical developments can significantly reduce radiation dose of WBCT in multiple trauma. Dose reductions of 10-34% can be achieved.
