INTRODUCTION: Deep learning (DL) is used to classify, detect, and quantify gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in a human-sized phantom with a clinical MDCT scanner.
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the clinical utility of a phantom-based convolutional neural network noise reduction framework for whole-body-low-dose CT skeletal surveys.
Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is a quantitative MRI (qMRI) framework that provides simultaneous estimates of multiple relaxation parameters as well as metrics of field inhomogeneity in a single acquisition. However, current challenges exist...
INTRODUCTION: Lateral radiography of the knee joint is frequently performed; however, the retake rate is high owing to positioning errors. Therefore, in this study, to reduce the required number and time of image retakes, we developed a system that c...
OBJECTIVES: To compare deep learning (True Fidelity, TF) and partial model based Iterative Reconstruction (ASiR-V) algorithm for image texture, low contrast lesion detectability and potential dose reduction.
PURPOSE: During a typical cardiac short scan, the heart can move several millimeters. As a result, the corresponding CT reconstructions may be corrupted by motion artifacts. Especially the assessment of small structures, such as the coronary arteries...

PURPOSE: Breast dosimetry in mammography is an important aspect of radioprotection since women are exposed periodically to ionizing radiation due to breast cancer screening programs. Mean glandular dose (MGD) is the standard quantity employed for the...
Fast and accurate modeling of MR signal responses are typically required for various quantitative MRI applications, such as MR fingerprinting. This work uses a new extended phase graph (EPG)-Bloch model for accurate simulation of transient-state, gra...
