Otherwise, the excessive use of iterative reconstruction may lead to poor image quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in radiation dose and image quality in the combination of tube voltage, dose reduction and ASIR-V settings and giving recommendation out of it. This type of research is quasi-experimental with a pretest posttest design. VCT Quality Assurance phantom scanned with abdominal CT parameters with the combination of tube voltage variations and dose reduction settings then reconstructed using ASIR-V. Image quality data including noise, LCD and HCR obtained were analyzed by using the paired t-test statistical test. The lowest dose (2.01 mGy) resulted from the combination of tube voltage setting 80 kV, 60% dose reduction, and the dose reduction in the treatment group was in the range of 49% - 87%. The lowest noise was produced by a combination of tube voltage settings of 80 kV, 60% dose reduction, and 100% ASIR-V and noise reduction in the treatment group in the range of 15% -68%. There are significant differences in low contrast detectability of image obtained from 15 combination of tube voltage settings, and dose reduction setting after ASIR-V reconstruction on CT scans. Meanwhile, there are significant differences of extreme contrast spatial resolution in 13 combinations of the tube voltage and dose reduction setting after ASIR-V reconstruction showed. Decreasing the tube voltage and increasing the dose reduction value results in a lesser radiation dose accompanied by a decrease in image quality, while the application of ASIR-V is proven to improve the quality of CT scan images including noise and low contrast detectability, in the other hand the excessive use of ASIR-V may also decrease high contrast spatial resolution of the image. The combination of image quality that is closest to the image quality of the control group is a combination of tube voltage settings of 120 kV, 60% dose reduction and 60% ASIR-V which produces a radiation dose of 6.37 mGy.]]></p></abstract>
