Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Intelligent noise reduction (INR), a deep learning-based noise reduction developed by Canon, is used in planar radiography to improve image quality and reduce patient exposure dose. This study aimed to evaluate the reduction of patient exposure dose in planar chest radiography using INR.
