Radiation dose reduction and image quality improvement with ultra-high resolution temporal bone CT using deep learning-based reconstruction: An anatomical study.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the achievable radiation dose reduction of an ultra-high resolution computed tomography (UHR-CT) scanner using deep learning reconstruction (DLR) while maintaining temporal bone image quality equal to or better than high-resolution CT (HR-CT).

Metabolic profiling of murine radiation-induced lung injury with Raman spectroscopy and comparative machine learning.

Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a dose-limiting toxicity for cancer patients receiving thoracic radiotherapy. As such, it is important to characterize metabolic associations with the early and late stages of RILI, namely pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis. Recently, Raman spectroscopy has shown utility for the differentiation of pneumonitic and fibrotic tissue states in a mouse model; howe...
