Four-dimensional (4D) wide coverage computed tomography (CT) is an effective imaging modality for measuring the mechanical function of the myocardium. However, repeated CT measurement across several heartbeats is still a concern. A…

The Computed Tomography (CT) for diagnosis of lesions in human internal organs is one of the most fundamental topics in medical imaging. Low-dose CT, which offers reduced radiation exposure, is preferred over standard-dose CT, and therefore…

In radiation therapy (RT), the reliance on pre-treatment computed tomography (CT) images encounter challenges due to anatomical changes, necessitating adaptive planning. Daily cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging, pivotal for therapy adjustment,…

X-ray imaging dose from serial cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans raises a clinical concern in most image guided radiation therapy procedures. It is the goal of this paper to develop a fast GPU-based algorithm to reconstruct high quality CBCT images…

In this study, 18F-FDG PET/CT brain scans of 50 patients with head and neck malignant lesions were employed to systematically assess the relationship between the amount of injected dose (10%, 8%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, and 1% of standard dose)…

Clinical SPECT-MPI images of 345 patients acquired from a dedicated cardiac SPECT in list-mode format were retrospectively employed to predict normal-dose images from low-dose data at the half, quarter, and one-eighth-dose levels. A…

Multi-energy CT takes advantage of the non-linearly varying attenuation properties of elemental media with respect to energy, enabling more precise material identification than single-energy CT. The increased precision comes with the cost…

In order to reduce the potential radiation risk, low-dose CT has attracted more and more attention. However, simply lowering the radiation dose will significantly degrade the imaging quality. In this paper, we propose a noise reduction…

Increasing use of CT in modern medical practice has raised concerns over associated radiation dose. Reduction of radiation dose associated with CT can increase noise and artifacts, which can adversely affect diagnostic confidence. Denoising…

This paper describes the mathematical structure of the ill-posed nonlinear inverse problem of low-dose dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and explains the advantages of a deep learning-based approach to the reconstruction of…

Objectives: This study aims to characterize the dose-performance relationship for opportunistic CT and disentangle the contributions of segmentation failure and dose-dependent HU bias to performance degradation. Methods: Simulated low-dose…

To reduce the potential radiation risk, low-dose CT has attracted much attention. However, simply lowering the radiation dose will lead to significant deterioration of the image quality. In this paper, we propose a noise reduction method…

In the intention of minimizing excessive X-ray radiation administration to patients, low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has become a distinct trend in radiology. However, while lowering the radiation dose reduces the risk to the patient,…

Cone-beam tomography enables rapid 3D acquisitions, making it a suitable imaging modality for dental imaging. However, as with all X-ray techniques, the main challenge is to reduce the dose while maintaining good image quality. Moreover,…

Purpose: To characterize image quality, imaging dose, and dose calculation accuracy for an upright CT scanner with a six-degree-of-freedom patient positioning system. Methods: Imaging dose (CTDIvol) was measured at 120 kVp and 200 mAs.…

Low-Dose computer tomography (LDCT) is an ideal alternative to reduce radiation risk in clinical applications. Although supervised-deep-learning-based reconstruction methods have demonstrated superior performance compared to conventional…

Deep neural networks have received considerable attention in clinical imaging, particularly with respect to the reduction of radiation risk. Lowering the radiation dose by reducing the photon flux inevitably results in the degradation of…

Statistical image reconstruction (SIR) methods have shown potential to substantially improve the image quality of low-dose X-ray computed tomography (CT) as compared to the conventional filtered back-projection (FBP) method for various…

Obtaining accurate and reliable images from low-dose computed tomography (CT) is challenging. Regression convolutional neural network (CNN) models that are learned from training data are increasingly gaining attention in low-dose CT…

Recently, X-ray imaging dose from computed tomography (CT) or cone beam CT (CBCT) scans has become a serious concern. Patient-specific imaging dose calculation has been proposed for the purpose of dose management. While Monte Carlo (MC)…
