Journal Article Radiology · January 2025 Background Detection of hepatic metastases at CT is a daily task in radiology departments that influences medical and surgical treatment strategies for oncology patients. Purpose To compare simulated photon-counting CT (PCCT) with energy-integrating detect ... Full text Link to item CiteOptimization of abdominal CT based on a model of total risk minimization by putting radiation risk in perspective with imaging benefit.
Journal Article Commun Med (Lond) · December 19, 2024 BACKGROUND: Risk-versus-benefit optimization required a quantitative comparison of the two. The latter, directly related to effective diagnosis, can be associated to clinical risk. While many strategies have been developed to ascertain radiation risk, ther ...
