Deep Guess acceleration for explainable image reconstruction in sparse-view CT.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Sparse-view Computed Tomography (CT) is an emerging protocol designed to reduce X-ray dose radiation in medical imaging. Reconstructions based on the traditional Filtered Back Projection algorithm suffer from severe artifacts due to sparse data. In c...

Asymmetric Convolution-based GAN Framework for Low-Dose CT Image Denoising.

Computers in biology and medicine
Noise reduction is essential to improve the diagnostic quality of low-dose CT (LDCT) images. In this regard, data-driven denoising methods based on generative adversarial networks (GAN) have shown promising results. However, custom designs with 2D co...

Deep learning-based segmentation of ultra-low-dose CT images using an optimized nnU-Net model.

La Radiologia medica
PURPOSE: Low-dose CT protocols are widely used for emergency imaging, follow-ups, and attenuation correction in hybrid PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging. However, low-dose CT images often suffer from reduced quality depending on acquisition and patient att...
