主要方法:
- 使用3D打印的脏幻影与酸盐和尿酸结石.
- 在不同的管电压 (120/140 kV) 和辐射剂量 (5-15 mGy) 进行PCD-CT扫描.
- 应用了VNI (PureCalcium) 和VNC算法,图像质量,对比度减法和石头检测被两个盲人读者评估.
主要成果:
- 阅读器2发现VNI在图像质量方面优越;阅读器1发现没有显著差异.

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...
