The objective of this article was to evaluate the evidence currently available about the clinical value of artificial intelligence (AI) in breast imaging. Nine experts from the disciplines involved in breast disease management - including physicists ...
PURPOSE: To evaluate image quality (IQ) and radiation dose in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the ankle using a novel twin robotic X-ray system.
PURPOSE: Radiation doses accumulated during very complicated image-guided x-ray procedures have the potential to cause stochastic, but also deterministic effects, such as skin rashes or even hair loss. To monitor and reduce radiation-related risks to...
PURPOSE: An important challenge for deep learning models is generalizing to new datasets that may be acquired with acquisition protocols different from the training set. It is not always feasible to expand training data to the range encountered in cl...
The potential risks of x-ray to patients have transferred the public's attention from normal dose CT (NDCT) to low-dose CT (LDCT). However, simply lowering the radiation dose of the CT system will significantly degrade the quality of CT images such a...
PURPOSE: Convolutional neural network (CNN)-based image denoising techniques have shown promising results in low-dose CT denoising. However, CNN often introduces blurring in denoised images when trained with a widely used pixel-level loss function. P...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To develop and evaluate an automated machine learning (ML) algorithm for segmenting the paraspinous muscles on chest computed tomography (CT) scans to evaluate for presence of sarcopenia.
PURPOSE: Reducing dose level to achieve ALARA is an important task in diagnostic and therapeutic applications of computed tomography (CT) imaging. Effective image quality enhancement strategies are crucial to compensate for the degradation caused by ...
Lung densitometry is being frequently adopted in CT-based emphysema quantification, yet known to be affected by the choice of reconstruction kernel. This study presents a two-step deep learning architecture that enables accurate normalization of reco...
BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy continues to be delivered uniformly without consideration of individual tumor characteristics. To advance toward more precise treatments in radiotherapy, we queried the lung computed tomography (CT)-derived feature space to i...
