Estimation of in vivo noise in clinical CT images: comparison and validation of three different methods against ensemble noise gold-standard
Ria, Francesco; Smith, Taylor; Abadi, Ehsan; Solomon, Justin; Samei, Ehsan (Proc. SPIE 11595, Medical Imaging 2021: Physics of Medical Imaging, 115952P, 2021-02-15)Image quality estimation is crucial in modern CT with noise magnitude playing a key role. Several methods have been proposed to estimate noise surrogates in vivo. This study aimed to ascertain the accuracy of three different ... -
Patient-informed modelling of hepatic contrast dynamics in contrast-enhanced CT imaging
Setiawan, Hananiel; Ria, Francesco; Abadi, Ehsan; Fu, Wanyi; Smith, Taylor; Samei, Ehsan (Medical Imaging 2020: Physics of Medical Imaging, 2020-03-16)PURPOSE Iodinated contrast agents are commonly used in CT imaging to enhance tissue contrast. Consistency in contrast enhancement (CE) is critical in radiological diagnosis. Contrast material circulation in individual patients ... -

Total risk index: a mathematical model for decision making based on clinical and radiation risk assessment in CT
Ria, Francesco; Smith, Taylor; Hoye, Jocelyn; Marin, Daniele; Samei, Ehsan (2019-12-04)Purpose. Radiological risk is a combination of radiation and clinical risk (likelihood of not delivering a proper diagnosis), which together may be characterized as a total risk index (TRI). While many strategies have been ...
