We propose a new variance reduction technique called last vertex splitting (LVS) designed to reduce computation time in Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for particles traversing high-attenuating media, such as the collimator and other beam-limiting devic...
To assess the image quality and radiation dose between reduced-dose CT with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) using SilverBeam filter and standard dose with iterative reconstruction (IR) in abdominopelvic CT. In total, 182 patients (mean age ± stand...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of the "double-low" scanning protocol combined with the artificial intelligence iterative reconstruction (AIIR) algorithm for abdominal computed tomography (CT) enhancement in obese patients and to identify the opt...
PURPOSE: To assess the performance of a newly introduced deep learning-based reconstruction algorithm, namely the artificial intelligence iterative reconstruction (AIIR), in reducing the dose of pediatric chest CT by using the image data of below 3-y...
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is an important method for cardiovascular risk assessment. While artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied to automate CAC scoring in calcium scoring computed tomography (CSCT), its application to...
Scanner-related changes in data quality are common in medical imaging, yet monitoring their impact on diagnostic AI performance remains challenging. In this study, we performed standardized consistency testing of an FDA-cleared and CE-marked AI for t...
High-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy is integral to the standard-of-care for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Currently, selection of brachytherapy applicators relies on physician's clinical experience, which can lead to variability in treatmen...
To assess the utility of dual-energy CT scanning (DECTs) with popliteal artery (PA) monitoring in dual low-dose (radiation and contrast) lower-extremity CT angiography (LE-CTA). 135 patients undergoing LE-CTA were prospectively included and divided i...
