The computed tomography (CT) technique is extensively employed as an imaging modality in clinical settings. The radiation dose of CT, however, is significantly high, thereby raising concerns regarding the potential radiation damage it may cause. The ...
BACKGROUND: In boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT)-a form of binary radiotherapy-the primary challenge in treatment planning systems for dose calculations arises from the time-consuming nature of the Monte Carlo (MC) method. Recent progress, includi...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop an automated method that uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) for calculating size-specific dose estimates (SSDEs) based on the corrected effective diameter (D ) in thoracic computed tomography (CT).
We investigated the effect of deep learning-based image reconstruction (DLIR) compared to iterative reconstruction on image quality in CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). For 220 patients with suspected PE, CTPA stu...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the image quality of low-dose CT colonography (CTC) using deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) compared to iterative reconstruction (IR).
AIM: To investigate the improvement in image quality of triple-low-protocol (low radiation, low contrast medium dose, low injection speed) renal artery computed tomography (CT) angiography (RACTA) using deep-learning image reconstruction (DLIR), in c...

PURPOSE: While dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) images provide clinically useful information than single-energy CT (SECT), SECT remains the most widely used CT system globally, and only a few institutions can use DECT. This study aimed to estab...
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) ...
