Article Synopsis
  • DLR (Deep Learning Reconstruction) provides better image quality than MBIR (Model-Based Iterative Reconstruction) for cerebral non-contrast CT scans.
  • DLR is superior to Hybrid-IR (Hybrid-Iterative Reconstruction) in terms of noise level and grey-white matter differentiation, though they are similar for other qualities.
  • DLR has a slightly longer reconstruction time compared to Hybrid-IR, but is significantly faster than MBIR, which takes much longer to process images.

Background: Recurrent subluxation or dislocation of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendon from the ulnar groove is an important cause of ulnar-sided wrist pain. Demonstration of ECU subluxation on MRI is of unclear clinical significance. Previous studies have suggested wrist positioning can affect the ECU's position relative to the ulnar groove.

Objective: Chest radiographs (CXR) are an important diagnostic tool for the detection of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) in critically ill patients, but their diagnostic value is limited by a poor sensitivity. By using advanced image processing, the aim of this study was to increase the value of chest radiographs in the diagnostic work up of neutropenic patients who are suspected of IPA.

Methods: The frontal CXRs of 105 suspected cases of IPA were collected from four institutions.
