Commentary. Radiation dose in CT: are we meeting the challenge?
What challenge? CT has developed dramatically: scanning is faster, images are better, applications have grown and, of course, radiation doses have come down, have they not? Well, no, actually; quite the contrary in fact. When CT was new it was appreciated that it was a relatively high dose technique but there was overriding clinical justification for using it; in the brain no technique could ap...
متن کاملCommentary What can we do about osteoarthritis ?
Osteoarthritis is complex in genetics, pathogenesis, monitoring and treatment. Current treatment of osteoarthritis does not influence progression. Much could be gained by more effective ‘low-tech-low-cost’ treatment. However, many patients have rapidly progressive disease, multiple joint involvement, and severe disease. We need to clarify the genetics of osteoarthritis, identify those at risk f...
متن کاملNonlinear filtering for CT radiation dose reduction
Nonlinear bilateral filters (BF) deliver a fine blend of computational simplicity and blurfree denoising. However, little is known about their nature, noise-suppressing properties, and optimal choices of filter parameters. Our study is meant to fill this gap—explaining the underlying mechanism of bilateral filtering and providing the methodology for optimal filter selection. Practical applicati...
متن کاملRadiation Dose Reduction in Paranasal Sinus CT
Objectives. To (1) compare the radiation dose of low-dose computed tomography (CT) to that of standard-dose CT, (2) determine the minimum optimal radiation dose for use in patients who need endoscopic sinus surgery, and (3) assess the reliability of iterative model reconstruction. Study Design. Prospective single-institution study. Setting. Tertiary care center. Subjects and Methods. We recruit...
متن کاملCT radiation dose reduction by modifying primary factors.
Given the steep trajectory of evolution in multidetector CT technology and its complexity, dose reduction efforts require knowledge of interplay between CT scanning parameters and their impact on radiation dose and image quality in CT examinations. We describe the effects of modifying primary scanning factors such as tube current, tube potential, and pitch factor (applicable to helical CT scann...
