PURPOSE: Given the potential risk of motion artifacts, acquisition time reduction is desirable in pediatric Tc-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of predicted full-acquisition-time imag...
AIM: To investigate the feasibility of using deep learning (DL) to differentiate normal from abnormal (or scarred) kidneys using technetium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc-DMSA) single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) in paediatric patient...
INTRODUCTION: A DnCNN for image denoising trained with natural images is available in MATLAB. For Tc-99m DMSA images, any loss of clinical details during the denoising process will have serious consequences since denoised image is to be used for diag...
