Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for controlling exposure/irradiation during a main three-dimensional X-ray imaging scan using at least one spatially-distributed characteristic of a pre-scan/scout scan preceding the main scan. The at least one spatially-distributed characteristic includes (1) a spatially-distributed noise characteristic of the pre-scan and/or (2) a spatially-distributed identification of exposure-sensitive tissue types. The at least one spatially-distributed characteristic can be calculated from images reconstructed from sinogram/projection data and/or from sinogram/projection directly using a neural network.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus of an embodiment includes storage circuitry and processing circuitry. The storage circuitry stores therein a trained model trained using a first ultrasound signal containing a saturated signal as input data and a second ultrasound signal in which effect of saturation is reduced from the first ultrasound signal, as target data. The processing circuitry inputs a third ultrasound signal containing a saturated signal to the trained model and acquires a fourth ultrasound signal that is output from the trained model and in which effect of saturation is reduced from the third ultrasound signal, to generate the fourth ultrasound signal.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. This processing circuitry collects a first ultrasound signal including one or more harmonic components. By executing weighed addition processing where a coefficient distribution is applied to the first ultrasound signal for different directions of two or more dimensions, the processing circuitry generates a second ultrasound signal including components of each order at a ratio different, at a specific frequency, from a ratio among the frequency components included in the first ultrasound signal.

Abstract: A method and system enable to-be-processed medical image data and its corresponding noise characteristic information to be normalized to resemble noise characteristic information of training data used to train at least one neural network for at least one ultrasound data acquisition mode. After normalizing, this processed medical image data is input into the trained neural network for producing output data used for generating cleaner images. Noise characteristic information can be used directly in training a neural network, generating a trained neural network that can handle medical image data with various noise characteristics.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided that use deep learning (DL) networks to reduce noise and artifacts in reconstructed computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. DL networks are used in both the sinogram and image domains. In each domain, a detection network is used to (i) determine if particular types of artifacts are exhibited (e.g., beam-hardening artifact, ring, motion, metal, photon-starvation, windmill, zebra, partial-volume, cupping, truncation, streak artifact, and/or shadowing artifacts), (ii) determine whether the detected artifact can be corrected through a changed scan protocol or image-processing techniques, and (iii) determine whether the detected artifacts are fatal, in which case the scan is stopped short of completion. When the artifacts can be corrected, corrective measures are taken through a changed scan protocol or through image processing to reduce the artifacts (e.g., convolutional neural network can be trained to perform the image processing).
