BACKGROUND: Computed tomography scans are widely used in everyday medical practice due to speed, image reliability, and detectability of a wide range of pathologies. Each scan exposes the patient to a radiation dose, and performing a fast estimation ...
Reducing the dose of radiation in computed tomography (CT) is vital to decreasing secondary cancer risk. However, the use of low-dose CT (LDCT) images is accompanied by increased noise that can negatively impact diagnoses. Although numerous deep lear...
