The objective of this study was to compare image quality and clinically significant lesion detection on deep learning reconstruction (DLR) and iterative reconstruction (IR) images of submillisievert chest and abdominopelvic CT. Our prospective mult...
Subtle interstitial changes in the lung parenchyma of smokers, known as Interstitial Lung Abnormalities (ILA), have been associated with clinical outcomes, including mortality, even in the absence of Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD). Although several ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a general term that implies the use of a computer to model intelligent behavior with minimal human intervention. AI, particularly deep learning, has recently made substantial strides in perception tasks allowing machin...

BACKGROUND: Advances in image reconstruction are necessary to decrease radiation exposure from coronary CT angiography (CCTA) further, but iterative reconstruction has been shown to degrade image quality at high levels. Deep-learning image reconstruc...
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is typically performed with image guidance using X-ray angiograms in which coronary arteries are opacified with X-ray opaque contrast agents. Interventional cardiologists typically navigate instruments using n...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the performance of iterative reconstruction (IR) and filtered back projection (FBP) images in terms of low-contrast detectability at different radiation doses, IR levels, and slice thickness using the mathematica...

Early detection of lung cancer is an effective way to improve the survival rate of patients. It is a critical step to have accurate detection of lung nodules in computed tomography (CT) images for the diagnosis of lung cancer. However, due to the het...
OBJECTIVES: To perform test-retest reproducibility analyses for deep learning-based automatic detection algorithm (DLAD) using two stationary chest radiographs (CRs) with short-term intervals, to analyze influential factors on test-retest variations,...
