Emphysema quantification using low-dose computed tomography with deep learning-based kernel conversion comparison.

European radiology
OBJECTIVE: This study determined the effect of dose reduction and kernel selection on quantifying emphysema using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) and evaluated the efficiency of a deep learning-based kernel conversion technique in normalizing ker...

Task-based characterization of a deep learning image reconstruction and comparison with filtered back-projection and a partial model-based iterative reconstruction in abdominal CT: A phantom study.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
PURPOSE: We aimed to thoroughly characterize image quality of a novel deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR), and investigate its potential for dose reduction in abdominal CT in comparison with filtered back-projection (FBP) and a partial model-ba...

Estimation of glandular dose in mammography based on artificial neural networks.

Physics in medicine and biology
This work proposes using artificial neural networks (ANNs) for the regression of the dosimetric quantities employed in mammography. The data were generated by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations using a modified and validated version of the PENELOPE (v. 201...

Error detection using a convolutional neural network with dose difference maps in patient-specific quality assurance for volumetric modulated arc therapy.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of dose difference maps with a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect multi-leaf collimator (MLC) positional errors in patient-specific quality assurance for volumetric modulated radiation therapy (...
