OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the impact of a deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) technique on image quality and reduction of radiation exposure, and to propose a low-dose multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) scan protocol ...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the image quality and lesion detectability of lower-dose CT (LDCT) of the abdomen and pelvis obtained using a deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm compared with those of standard-dose CT (SDCT) images.
Pulmonary nodules are the main manifestation of early lung cancer. Therefore, accurate detection of nodules in CT images is vital for lung cancer diagnosis. A 3D automatic detection system of pulmonary nodules based on multi-scale attention networks ...
OBJECTIVES: To compare the image quality and radiation dose of a deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm compared with iterative reconstruction (IR) and filtered back projection (FBP) at different tube voltages and tube currents.
OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dose reduction on the performance of a deep learning (DL)-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system regarding pulmonary nodule detection in a virtual screening scenario.
OBJECTIVES: To explore the use of 70-kVp tube voltage combined with high-strength deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR-H) in reducing radiation and contrast doses in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) in patients with body mass index (BMI) < 26 kg/m,...

This study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of deep learning-optimized chest CT in the patients with lung cancer. 90 patients who were diagnosed with lung cancer by surgery or puncture in hospital were selected as the research subjects. The Mask ...
Background Ultra-low-dose (ULD) CT could facilitate the clinical implementation of large-scale lung cancer screening while minimizing the radiation dose. However, traditional image reconstruction methods are associated with image noise in low-dose ac...
Background Assessment of liver lesions is constrained as CT radiation doses are lowered; evidence suggests deep learning reconstructions mitigate such effects. Purpose To evaluate liver metastases and image quality between reduced-dose deep learning ...
Artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and the cloud computing have recently become widely used in the healthcare sector, which aid in better decision-making for a radiologist. PET imaging or positron emission tomography is one of th...
