PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of ultra-low dose (ULD) chest computed tomography (CT), with a radiation exposure equivalent to a 2-view chest x-ray, for pulmonary nodule detection using deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR).
BACKGROUND: To assess the effect of the combination of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) and time-resolved maximum intensity projection (tMIP) or time-resolved average (tAve) post-processing method on image quality of CTA derived from low-dose cereb...
INTRODUCTION: Intelligent noise reduction (INR), a deep learning-based noise reduction developed by Canon, is used in planar radiography to improve image quality and reduce patient exposure dose. This study aimed to evaluate the reduction of patient ...
Subtraction computed tomography angiography (sCTA) can effectively separate enhanced cerebral arteries from similar signal intensity and proximity (i.e., vertebrae and skull). However, sCTA is not considered mainstream because of the high radiation d...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To establish an automated osteoporosis detection model based on low-dose abdominal CT (LDCT). This model combined a deep learning-based automatic segmentation of the proximal femur with a radiomics-based bone status classifi...
In digital radiography, image quality is synergistically affected by anatomy-specific examinations, exposure factors, body parameters, detector types, and vendors/systems. However, estimating appropriate exposure factors before radiography with optim...
PURPOSE: To compare the quality of standard 512-matrix, standard 1024-matrix, and Swin2SR-based 2048-matrix phantom images under different scanning protocols.
BACKGROUND: Previous knowledge-based planning studies have demonstrated the feasibility of predicting three-dimensional photon dose distributions and subsequently generating treatment plans. The steepness of dose fall-off represents a critical metric...
Unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD) is crucial in low-dose computed tomography (LDCT). Recent AI technologies, leveraging global features, have enabled effective UAD with minimal training data of normal patients. However, this approach, devoid of ut...
BACKGROUND: Computed tomography (CT) scans are a major source of medical radiation exposure worldwide. In countries like China, the frequency of CT scans has grown rapidly, thus making available a large volume of organ dose information. With modern c...
