Our purpose was to assess the performance of full-dose (FD) PET image synthesis in both image and sinogram space from low-dose (LD) PET images and sinograms without sacrificing diagnostic quality using deep learning techniques. Clinical brain PET/CT...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the performance of iterative reconstruction (IR) and filtered back projection (FBP) images in terms of low-contrast detectability at different radiation doses, IR levels, and slice thickness using the mathematica...
PURPOSE: We propose a novel domain-specific loss, which is a differentiable loss function based on the dose-volume histogram (DVH), and combine it with an adversarial loss for the training of deep neural networks. In this study, we trained a neural n...
PURPOSE: Radiation dose to cardiac substructures is related to radiation-induced heart disease. However, substructures are not considered in radiation therapy planning (RTP) due to poor visualization on CT. Therefore, we developed a novel deep learni...
PURPOSE: Filtering measured projections with a particular convolutional kernel is an essential step in analytic reconstruction of computed tomography (CT) images. A tradeoff between noise and spatial resolution exists for different choices of reconst...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate deep learning (DL)-based optimization algorithm for low-dose coronary CT angiography (CCTA) image noise reduction and image quality (IQ) improvement.
