Distance Corrections

Distance Corrections

To achieve precise distance measurements, especially in surveying and construction, certain corrections must be applied to account for potential sources of error like the standardization errors, temperature variations, and slope adjustments.Standardization error emerges when measurement equipment undergoes changes, such as wear, repairs, or weather impacts. To address this, surveyors compare the equipment’s readings to a standard. This process identifies any deviation that might lead to...

Artificial Intelligence
Radiography

Background:

Scatter radiation degrades image quality in digital radiography.
Accurate scatter correction is crucial for diagnostic performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a new deep learning model for precise scatter correction in digital radiography.
To improve image quality metrics such as peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity.

Main Methods:

A U-Net based deep learning model was proposed, incorporating a pixel-wise water equivalent path length (WEPL) map.
The model was trained using simulated data from 3D CT images and Monte Carlo simulations.
Performance was evaluated by comparing with other deep learning models using quantitative metrics and an actual phantom.

Main Results:

The proposed model achieved superior peak signal-to-noise ratio (44.24 ± 2.89 dB) and structural similarity (0.9987 ± 0.0004) compared to other deep learning models.
It demonstrated the smallest deviation in scatter fractions on an actual phantom.
Image contrast-to-noise ratio improved by 16% over raw images and 82% over grid-applied images.

Conclusions:

The proposed deep learning model effectively corrects scatter radiation in digital radiography.
The method offers significant improvements in image quality and contrast.
Training data can be generated computationally, eliminating the need for physical radiography systems.
