CDAF-Net: A Contextual Contrast Detail Attention Feature Fusion Network for Low-Dose CT Denoising.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
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 ...

KBA-PDNet: A primal-dual unrolling network with kernel basis attention for low-dose CT reconstruction.

Journal of X-ray science and technology
Computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction is faced with challenge of balancing image quality and radiation dose. Recent unrolled optimization methods address low-dose CT image quality issues using convolutional neural networks or self-attention m...

Radiotherapy dose prediction using off-the-shelf segmentation networks: A feasibility study with GammaPod planning.

Medical physics
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...

Effectiveness of AI for Enhancing Computed Tomography Image Quality and Radiation Protection in Radiology: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Journal of medical Internet research

The feasibility and cost-effectiveness of implementing mobile low-dose computed tomography with an AI-based diagnostic system in underserved populations.

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND: Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) significantly increases early detection rates of lung cancer and reduces lung cancer-related mortality by 20%. However, many significant screening barriers remain. This study conduct an initial feasibil...

Robust and generalizable artificial intelligence for multi-organ segmentation in ultra-low-dose total-body PET imaging: a multi-center and cross-tracer study.

European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
PURPOSE: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a powerful molecular imaging tool that visualizes radiotracer distribution to reveal physiological processes. Recent advances in total-body PET have enabled low-dose, CT-free imaging; however, accurate o...

Dose prediction via deep learning to enhance treatment planning of lung radiotherapy including simultaneous integrated boost techniques.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown deep learning techniques are able to predict three-dimensional (3D) dose distributions of radiotherapy treatment plans. However, their use in dose prediction for treatments with varied prescription doses includin...

Multi-task learning for automated contouring and dose prediction in radiotherapy.

Physics in medicine and biology
. Deep learning (DL)-based automated contouring and treatment planning has been proven to improve the efficiency and accuracy of radiotherapy. However, conventional radiotherapy treatment planning process has the automated contouring and treatment pl...

MLAR-UNet: LDCT image denoising based on U-Net with multiple lightweight attention-based modules and residual reinforcement.

Physics in medicine and biology
Computed tomography (CT) is a crucial medical imaging technique which uses x-ray radiation to identify cancer tissues. Since radiation poses a significant health risk, low dose acquisition procedures need to be adopted. However, low-dose CT (LDCT) ca...

Does Deep Learning Reconstruction Improve Ureteral Stone Detection and Subjective Image Quality in the CT Images of Patients with Metal Hardware?

Journal of endourology
Diagnosing ureteral stones with low-dose CT in patients with metal hardware can be challenging because of image noise. The purpose of this study was to compare ureteral stone detection and image quality of low-dose and conventional CT scans with and...
