PURPOSE: X-ray pelvimetry is typically performed for the diagnosis of the cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD). The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of new computed tomography (CT) reconstruction "deep learning based reconstruction (DLR) ...
OBJECTIVES: Noise, commonly encountered on computed tomography (CT) images, can impact diagnostic accuracy. To reduce the image noise, we developed a deep-learning reconstruction (DLR) method that integrates deep convolutional neural networks into im...
The advent of computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized radiology, and this revolution is still going on. Starting as a pure head scanner, modern CT systems are now able to perform whole-body examinations within a couple of seconds in isotropic res...
Biological dosimetry is used to estimate individual absorbed radiation dose by quantifying an appropriate biological marker. The most popular gold-standard marker is the appearance of dicentric chromosomes in metaphase. The metaphase finder is a tool...
Low-dose computed tomography (CT) lung cancer screening is recommended by the US Preventive Services Task Force for high lung cancer-risk populations. In this study, we investigated an important factor affecting the CT dose-the scan length, for this ...
Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is an effective tool used in determining disease stage and lesion malignancy; however, radiation exposure to patients and technicians during PET scans continues to draw concern. One way to minimize radiation...

Low-dose CT imaging is a valid approach to reduce patients' exposure to X-ray radiation. However, reducing X-ray current increases noise and artifacts in the reconstructed CT images. Deep neural networks have been successfully employed to remove nois...
Chest digital tomosynthesis (CDT) provides more limited image information required for diagnosis when compared to computed tomography. Moreover, the radiation dose received by patients is higher in CDT than in chest radiography. Thus, CDT has not bee...

Recently, low-dose computed tomography (CT) has become highly desirable due to the increasing attention paid to the potential risks of excessive radiation of the regular dose CT. However, ensuring image quality while reducing the radiation dose in th...
Model-based iterative reconstruction algorithms for low-dose X-ray computed tomography (CT) are computationally expensive. To address this problem, we recently proposed a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) for low-dose X-ray CT and won the secon...
