BACKGROUND: A new tube voltage-switching dual-energy (DE) CT system using a novel deep-learning based reconstruction process has been introduced. Characterizing the performance of this DE approach can help demonstrate its benefits and potential drawb...
PURPOSE: The bone marrow's iodine uptake in dual-energy CT (DECT) is elevated in malignant disease. We aimed to investigate the physiological range of bone marrow iodine uptake after intravenous contrast application, and examine its dependence on vBM...
BACKGROUND: To assess the impact of the new version of a deep learning (DL) spectral reconstruction on image quality of virtual monoenergetic images (VMIs) for contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography in the rapid kV-switching platform.
BACKGROUND: Iterative reconstruction (IR) has increasingly replaced traditional reconstruction methods in computed tomography (CT). The next paradigm shift in image reconstruction is likely to come from artificial intelligence, with deep learning rec...
BACKGROUND: Single-kV CT imaging is one of the primary imaging methods in radiology practices. However, it does not provide material basis images for some subtle lesion characterization tasks in clinical diagnosis.
Deep learning-based spectral CT imaging (DL-SCTI) is a novel type of fast kilovolt-switching dual-energy CT equipped with a cascaded deep-learning reconstruction which completes the views missing in the sinogram space and improves the image quality i...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to predict contrast effects in cardiac computed tomography (CT) from CT localizer radiographs using a deep learning (DL) model and to compare the prediction performance of the DL model with that of conventional models based ...
PURPOSE: To investigate the image quality and diagnostic performance of low-contrast-dose liver CT using a deep learning-based iodine contrast-augmenting algorithm (DLICA) for hypovascular hepatic metastases.
To evaluate the impact of a reduced iodine load using deep learning reconstruction (DLR) on the hepatic parenchyma compared to conventional iterative reconstruction (hybrid IR) and its consequence on the radiation dose and image quality. This retrosp...
AIM: To compare images using reduced CM, low-kVp scanning and DLR reconstruction with conventional images (no CM reduction, normal tube voltage, reconstructed with HBIR. To compare images using reduced contrast media (CM), low kilovoltage peak (kVp) ...
