Deep learning-based correction for time truncation in cerebral computed tomography perfusion.

Radiological physics and technology
Cerebral computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging requires complete acquisition of contrast bolus inflow and washout in the brain parenchyma; however, time truncation undoubtedly occurs in clinical practice. To overcome this issue, we proposed a t...

Verification of image quality improvement by deep learning reconstruction to 1.5 T MRI in T2-weighted images of the prostate gland.

Radiological physics and technology
This study aimed to evaluate whether the image quality of 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate is equal to or higher than that of 3 T MRI by applying deep learning reconstruction (DLR). To objectively analyze the images from the 13 ...

New liver window width in detecting hepatocellular carcinoma on dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography with deep learning reconstruction.

Radiological physics and technology
Changing a window width (WW) alters appearance of noise and contrast of CT images. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of adjusted WW for deep learning reconstruction (DLR) in detecting hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) on CT with DLR....

A deep-learning-based scatter correction with water equivalent path length map for digital radiography.

Radiological physics and technology
We proposed a new deep learning (DL) model for accurate scatter correction in digital radiography. The proposed network featured a pixel-wise water equivalent path length (WEPL) map of subjects with diverse sizes and 3D inner structures. The proposed...

Assessment of the deep learning-based gamma passing rate prediction system for 1.5 T magnetic resonance-guided linear accelerator.

Radiological physics and technology
Measurement-based verification is impossible for the patient-specific quality assurance (QA) of online adaptive magnetic resonance imaging-guided radiotherapy (oMRgRT) because the patient remains on the couch throughout the session. We assessed a dee...

Improved detection of cholesterol gallstones using quasi-material decomposition images generated from single-energy computed tomography images via deep learning.

Radiological physics and technology
In this study, we developed a method for generating quasi-material decomposition (quasi-MD) images from single-energy computed tomography (SECT) images using a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). Our aim was to improve the detection of choleste...

Verification of image quality improvement of low-count bone scintigraphy using deep learning.

Radiological physics and technology
To improve image quality for low-count bone scintigraphy using deep learning and evaluate their clinical applicability. Six hundred patients (training, 500; validation, 50; evaluation, 50) were included in this study. Low-count original images (75%, ...

Deep learning-based PET image denoising and reconstruction: a review.

Radiological physics and technology
This review focuses on positron emission tomography (PET) imaging algorithms and traces the evolution of PET image reconstruction methods. First, we provide an overview of conventional PET image reconstruction methods from filtered backprojection thr...

Development of an individual display optimization system based on deep convolutional neural network transition learning for somatostatin receptor scintigraphy.

Radiological physics and technology
Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) is an essential examination for the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). This study developed a method to individually optimize the display of whole-body SRS images using a deep convolutional neural netw...

Evaluation of deep learning reconstruction on diffusion-weighted imaging quality and apparent diffusion coefficient using an ice-water phantom.

Radiological physics and technology
This study assessed the influence of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) on the quality of diffusion-weighted images (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) using an ice-water phantom. An ice-water phantom with known diffusion properties (true ...
