OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the impact of deep-learning reconstruction (DLR) on the detailed evaluation of solitary lung nodule using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) compared with hybrid iterative reconstruction (hybrid IR).
PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to evaluate the low-contrast detectability of CT images assuming hepatocellular carcinoma and to determine whether dose reduction in abdominal plain CT imaging is possible.
In 1971, the first computed tomography (CT) scan was performed on a patient's brain. Clinical CT systems were introduced in 1974 and dedicated to head imaging only. New technological developments, broader availability, and the clinical success of CT ...
