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...
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...
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...

PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate estimation of patient-specific organ doses from CT scans via radiomics feature-based SVR models with training parameter optimization, and maximize SVR models' predictive accuracy and robustness via fine-tuning ...
BACKGROUND: Low-dose chest CT (LDCT) is commonly employed for the early screening of lung cancer. However, it has rarely been utilized in the assessment of volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and the diagnosis of osteoporosis (OP).
. X-ray computed tomography employing low-dose x-ray source is actively researched to reduce radiation exposure. However, the reduced photon count in low-dose x-ray sources leads to severe noise artifacts in analytic reconstruction methods like filte...

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is a specialized CT scan with a lower radiation dose than normal-dose CT. However, the reduced radiation dose can introduce noise and artifacts, affecting diagnostic accuracy. To enhance the LDCT image quality, we ...
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy requires precise, patient-specific treatment planning to achieve high-quality dose distributions that improve patient outcomes. Traditional manual planning is time-consuming and clinically impractical for performing necessary...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) presents a promising approach to balancing high image quality with reduced radiation exposure in computed tomography (CT) imaging.
