Last vertex splitting: a new retroactive Monte Carlo splitting technique applied to LINAC out-of-field dose computation.

Physics in medicine and biology
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...

Image quality and radiation dose of reduced-dose abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) with silver filter and deep learning reconstruction.

Scientific reports
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...

Artificial Intelligence Iterative Reconstruction for Dose Reduction in Pediatric Chest CT: A Clinical Assessment via Below 3 Years Patients With Congenital Heart Disease.

Journal of thoracic imaging
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...

Diffusion-based image translation model from low-dose chest CT to calcium scoring CT with random point sampling.

Computers in biology and medicine
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...

Inconsistency of AI in intracranial aneurysm detection with varying dose and image reconstruction.

Scientific reports
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...

Deep learning-based applicator selection between Syed and T&O in high-dose-rate brachytherapy for locally advanced cervical cancer: a retrospective study.

Physics in medicine and biology
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...

Improving lower-extremity artery depiction and diagnostic confidence using dual-energy technique and popliteal artery monitoring in dual-low dose CT angiography.

Scientific reports
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...

The impact of a simple positioning aid device on the diagnostic performance of thyroid cancer in CT scans: a randomized controlled trial.

Cancer imaging : the official publication of the International Cancer Imaging Society
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a simple positioning aid device in neck CT scans for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer, with a focus on its influence on image quality and diagnostic accuracy.

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Low-Dose CT Reconstruction via Bayesian Uncertainty Alignment.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) image reconstruction techniques can reduce patient radiation exposure while maintaining acceptable imaging quality. Deep learning (DL) is widely used in this problem, but the performance of testing data (also known...
