This study aimed to determine the optimal radiographic conditions for detecting lesions on digital chest radiographs using an indirect conversion flat-panel detector with a copper (Cu) filter. First, we calculated the effective detective quantum effi...
In this study, we compared the image quality of deep learning reconstruction (DLR) with that of conventional image reconstruction methods under the same conditions of reconstruction FOV and acquisition dose assuming abdomen computed tomography (CT) i...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the feasibility of patient-specific digital radiography (DR)-only treatment planning for carbon ion radiotherapy in anthropomorphic thorax-and-abdomen phantom and head-and-neck patients.
In digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) systems, projection data are acquired from a limited number of angles. Consequently, the reconstructed images contain severe blurring artifacts that might heavily degrade the DBT image quality and cause difficult...

Breast cancer incidence has been rising steadily during the past few decades. It is the second leading cause of death in women. If it is diagnosed early, there is a good possibility of recovery. Mammography is proven to be an excellent screening tech...
OBJECTIVES: The lung nodule volume determined by CT is used for nodule diagnoses and monitoring tumor responses to therapy. Increased image noise on low-dose CT degrades the measurement accuracy of the lung nodule volume. We compared the volumetric a...
AIM: To evaluate the computed tomography (CT) attenuation values, background noise, arterial depiction, and image quality in whole-body dual-energy CT angiography (DECTA) at 40 keV with a reduced iodine dose using deep-learning image reconstruction (...

A common gynecological disease in the world is breast cancer that early diagnosis of this disease can be very effective in its treatment. The use of image processing methods and pattern recognition techniques in automatic breast detection from mammog...
OBJECTIVES: To develop a deep-learning (DL) model for identifying fresh VCFs from digital radiography (DR), with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the reference standard.
Deep learning has shown tremendous potential in the task of object detection in images. However, a common challenge with this task is when only a limited number of images containing the object of interest are available. This is a particular issue in ...
