OBJECTIVE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used to evaluate cervical spinal canal stenosis; however, some patients are ineligible for MRI. We aimed to assess the effect of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) in evaluating cervical spinal ...
PURPOSE: To compare the noise power spectrum (NPS) properties and perform a qualitative analysis of hybrid iterative reconstruction (IR), model-based IR (MBIR), and deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) at a similar noise level in clinical study a...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to evaluate whether the prediction of anemia is possible using quantitative analyses of unenhanced cranial computed tomography (CT) with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) compared with conventional methods.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of low-dose CT (LDCT) with deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) for the surveillance of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) compared with standard-dose CT (SDCT) with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (...
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a medical imaging technique that produces detailed images of the coronary arteries. Our work focuses on the optimization of the prospectively ECG-triggered scan technique, which delivers the radiatio...
