X-ray photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) for extremity allows multi-energy high-resolution (HR) imaging but its radiation dose can be further improved. Despite the great potential of deep learning techniques, their application in HR…

Most of the Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) based CT image denoising literature shows that DNNs outperform traditional iterative methods in terms of metrics such as the RMSE, the PSNR and the SSIM. In many instances, using the same metrics, the…

Multiple objective assessment of image-quality-based studies have reported that several deep-learning-based denoising methods show limited performance on signal-detection tasks. Our goal was to investigate the reasons for this limited…

The cost-effectiveness and practical harmlessness of ultrasound imaging have made it one of the most widespread tools for medical diagnosis. Unfortunately, the beam-forming based image formation produces granular speckle noise, blurring,…
