Abstract

PURPOSE: Accurate positioning is essential for radiography, and it is especially important to maintain image reproducibility in follow-up observations. The decision on re-taking radiographs is entrusting to the individual radiological technologist. The evaluation is a visual and qualitative evaluation and there are individual variations in the acceptance criteria. In this study, we propose a method of image evaluation using a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for skull X-ray images.
