Thyroid shield during brain CT scan: dose reduction and image quality evaluation
Introduction Radiation doses during CT examinations are known to be relatively high and provide over 3540% of the collective radiation received from diagnostic imaging procedures [1]. The extensive use of CT and raised concerns about growing radiation exposure is empathizing the need for appropriate strategies to optimize and thereby, if possible, reduce radiation dose due to CT. Cancer risks a...
متن کاملImage Quality Assessment Using the Motif Scan
Image quality assessment (IQA) evaluates the quality of an image by computing the difference between the reference and distorted images. This paper proposes an image quality metric (IQM) that uses the motif scan. Since edges often contain much information on an image and the human visual system is highly adapted for extracting structural information from a scene, we propose a new IQM comparing ...
متن کاملA measure for radioisotope scan image quality.
A perennial difficulty in the field of radioisotope scanning* is the fact that the requirements for resolu tion and number of counts are specified independ ently although everyone knows that both contribute to the ultimate picture quality. This difficulty results from the fact that the image degradation due to blurring and that due to statistics are not directly comparable. Blurring introduces ...
متن کاملAudiovisual biofeedback improves image quality and reduces scan time for respiratory-gated 3D MRI
The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that audiovisual (AV) biofeedback can improve image quality and reduce scan time for respiratory-gated 3D thoracic MRI. For five healthy human subjects respiratory motion guidance in MR scans was provided using an AV biofeedback system, utilizing real-time respiratory motion signals. To investigate the improvement of respiratory‐gated 3D MR i...
متن کاملCombined Data Acquisition of Multi-Contrast Images
We propose a technique to reduce clinical MRI scan time by sharing k-space data between images. To improve data utilization, acquisition of multiple images of different contrast was combined into one single scan with variable acquisition parameters. We term this approach “combo” acquisition. As a proof of concept, simulations of MRI experiments using spin echo and fast spin echo sequences and b...
