Ultra Low-Dose CT Image-Guided Intervention Using Previous Scans as Prior Constraints

Background

It is well documented that the more X-ray CT imaging exposure time in a clinic, the more harm is caused to the patient. Low-dose CT is desirable in numerous clinical applications.

Technology

Low-dose CT images are directly correlated with lowering the mAs parameter in data acquisition and modeling the data property for statistical image reconstructions.

Advantages

Algorithm is fully automated and extremely robust - Results are outstanding in terms of low dose measure and image quality
