Normal Dose
"Normal dose" in medical imaging research primarily refers to the standard radiation dose used in computed tomography (CT) scans, serving as a benchmark for comparison against low-dose techniques aimed at reducing patient radiation exposure. Current research focuses on developing deep learning models, particularly employing U-Net architectures and graph neural networks, for denoising low-dose CT images, often using unsupervised or self-supervised learning methods to overcome the limitations of requiring paired low-dose/normal-dose datasets. These advancements are significant because they could lead to improved image quality in low-dose CT scans, ultimately benefiting patients by reducing radiation exposure without compromising diagnostic accuracy.
