Proper X-ray radiation design (via dynamic fluence field modulation, FFM) allows reducing effective radiation dose in computed tomography without compromising image quality. It takes into account patient anatomy, radiation sensitivity of different organs and tissues, and location of regions of interest. We account for all these factors within a general convex optimization framework.
