Iterative quality enhancement via residual-artifact learning networks for low-dose CT.

Physics in medicine and biology
Radiation exposure and the associated risk of cancer for patients in computed tomography (CT) scans have been major clinical concerns. The radiation exposure can be reduced effectively via lowering the x-ray tube current (mA). However, this strategy ...

Robotically Assisted CBCT-Guided Needle Insertions: Preliminary Results in a Phantom Model.

Cardiovascular and interventional radiology
AIM: To compare robotic-assisted needle insertions performed under CBCT guidance to standard manual needle insertions.

Robotic-assisted transradial diagnostic coronary angiography.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
Robotic percutaneous coronary interventions have recently been introduced in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Robotics offers benefits of greater precision for stent placement and occupational hazard protection for operators and staff. First g...

Prediction of dose to the relatives of patients treated with radioiodine-131 using neural networks.

Journal of radiological protection : official journal of the Society for Radiological Protection
In this study, the effective dose received by the family members and caregivers of 52 thyroid cancer patients, who had been treated with radioiodine I-131, was measured to investigate the ability of the neural network to predict the doses to the rela...

Early prediction of radiotherapy-induced parotid shrinkage and toxicity based on CT radiomics and fuzzy classification.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
MOTIVATION: Patients under radiotherapy for head-and-neck cancer often suffer of long-term xerostomia, and/or consistent shrinkage of parotid glands. In order to avoid these drawbacks, adaptive therapy can be planned for patients at risk, if the pred...

Impact of robotics and a suspended lead suit on physician radiation exposure during percutaneous coronary intervention.

Cardiovascular revascularization medicine : including molecular interventions
BACKGROUND: Reports of left-sided brain malignancies among interventional cardiologists have heightened concerns regarding physician radiation exposure. This study evaluated the impact of a suspended lead suit and robotic system on physician radiatio...

Semisupervised Tripled Dictionary Learning for Standard-Dose PET Image Prediction Using Low-Dose PET and Multimodal MRI.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: To obtain high-quality positron emission tomography (PET) image with low-dose tracer injection, this study attempts to predict the standard-dose PET (S-PET) image from both its low-dose PET (L-PET) counterpart and corresponding magnetic re...
