To assess the feasibility of a 70-kVp CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) protocol using simultaneous dual-source (SimDS) acquisition mode with 40 ml of contrast medium (CM) and comparison with a high-pitch spiral dual-source (SpiralDS) acquisition protocol with automated tube potential selection (ATPS). ⋯ 70-kVp SimDS-CTPA with 40 ml of CM is feasible in patients with a BMI up to 35 kg m(-2) and can help reduce radiation exposure and CM in these patients.
