Deep Learning-Based CT Reconstruction Kernel Conversion in the Quantification of Interstitial Lung Disease: Effect on Reproducibility.

Journal: Academic radiology
Published Date:

Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The effect of different computed tomography (CT) reconstruction kernels on the quantification of interstitial lung disease (ILD) has not been clearly demonstrated. The study aimed to investigate the effect of reconstruction kernels on the quantification of ILD on CT and determine whether deep learning-based kernel conversion can reduce the variability of automated quantification results between different CT kernels.
