Photon-counting CT (PCCT) denoising seeks to approximate high-dose image quality from lower-dose acquisitions. A key challenge for patient-specific denoising with precise control of denoising strength is the lack of an available ground-truth “target” image wh...
CT reference levels are mandated by Texas state regulations, and Medical Physics is responsible for reviewing CT studies that exceed these levels and determining the cause. The current clinical reference level for body CT, 60mGy, is applied uniformly across a...
Photon-counting CT (PCCT) denoising requires paired images with different noise levels for supervised training, but acquiring such data is rarely feasible due to increased radiation exposure and registration challenges. As a result, low-dose–like data are gen...
