AI denoising reduces LDCT lung cancer screening exam radiation dose

The denoising method works without missing actionable pulmonary nodules or life-threatening findings such as aortic aneurysms, a team led by Dr. Larisa Gorenstein of Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, Israel.

“AI-based denoising [eases] the use of the significant radiation dose reduction, significantly improves] image noise … [and preserves] the ability to separate patients into those with a negative screening exam to those who require further investigation,” the investigators noted.
