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...

Diffused Multi-scale Generative Adversarial Network for low-dose PET images reconstruction.

Biomedical engineering online
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to convert low-dose PET (L-PET) images to full-dose PET (F-PET) images based on our Diffused Multi-scale Generative Adversarial Network (DMGAN) to offer a potential balance between reducing radiation exposure and mai...

Intraindividual Comparison of Image Quality Between Low-Dose and Ultra-Low-Dose Abdominal CT With Deep Learning Reconstruction and Standard-Dose Abdominal CT Using Dual-Split Scan.

Investigative radiology
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to intraindividually compare the conspicuity of focal liver lesions (FLLs) between low- and ultra-low-dose computed tomography (CT) with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) and standard-dose CT with model-based ite...

Deep learning-based Monte Carlo dose prediction for heavy-ion online adaptive radiotherapy and fast quality assurance: A feasibility study.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Online adaptive radiotherapy (OART) and rapid quality assurance (QA) are essential for effective heavy ion therapy (HIT). However, there is a shortage of deep learning (DL) models and workflows for predicting Monte Carlo (MC) doses in suc...

Non-parametric Bayesian deep learning approach for whole-body low-dose PET reconstruction and uncertainty assessment.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging plays a pivotal role in oncology for the early detection of metastatic tumors and response to therapy assessment due to its high sensitivity compared to anatomical imaging modalities. The balance between ima...
