Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Radiation dose to patients who undergo computed tomography (CT) exams was a serious issue. To solve this problem, we developed a radiation dose reduction technology based on our original massive-training artificial neural network (MTANN) deep learning model. We trained our MTANN model with input ultra-low-dose CT images and corresponding teaching high-dose CT images to produce high-dose-CT-like images. Quantitative evaluation demonstrated that our virtual deep-learning imaging based on MTANNs was able to reduce radiation dose by more than 90% in CT, which was higher than dose reduction rates of 17-44% by the state-of-the-art iterative reconstruction.
