AI-Based Denoising Technique Achieves 76 Percent Reduction in Radiation Dosing for CT Lung Cancer Screening

Diagnostic Imaging

New prospective research demonstrated that the combination of ultra-low-dose (ULD) computed tomography (CT) and an artificial intelligence (AI)-based denoising method offered a greater than 95 percent sensitivity rate for differentiating negative and actionable Lung-RADS category findings with significantly reduced radiation dosing.

Is Photon Counting CT a Better Option than Dual-Energy CT for Pulmonary Angiography?

Diagnostic Imaging

Performing computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) with a high-pitch photon counting detector (PCD) offers enhanced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) at a reduced radiation dose in comparison to employing an energy-integrating detector (EID), according to new research.
