Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Low-dose computed tomography tends to produce lower image quality than normal dose computed tomography (CT) although it can help to reduce radiation hazards of CT scanning. Research has shown that Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, especially deep learning can help enhance the image quality of low-dose CT by denoising images. This scoping review aims to create an overview on how AI technologies, especially deep learning, can be used in dose optimisation for low-dose CT.
