Excessive z-axis scan coverage in body CT: frequency and causes

Ozan Yar et al.

Summary: Over-scanning in z-axis is common in body CT examinations. Factors contributing to over-scanning include patient demographics, time, CT throughput, and technologist experience. Preventing over-scanning is important to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure in patients.

The promise of artificial intelligence and deep learning in PET and SPECT imaging

Hossein Arabi et al.

Summary: This review discusses the applications of artificial intelligence in SPECT and PET imaging, focusing on addressing challenges in instrumentation, image acquisition/formation, image reconstruction, quantitative imaging, image interpretation, and internal radiation dosimetry. The review also provides a description of deep learning algorithms and fundamental architectures used for these applications, as well as discussing the challenges and opportunities for full-scale validation and adoption of AI-based solutions for improving image quality and quantitative accuracy in PET and SPECT images.

Automatic Scan Range Delimitation in Chest CT Using Deep Learning

Aydin Demircioglu et al.

Summary: This study developed and evaluated fully automatic scan range delimitation for chest CT using deep learning. The results showed that the software-generated scan ranges were similar to radiologists' annotations, leading to shorter scan times and reduced radiation exposure, indicating the potential for automation and improvement in clinical practice.
