The objective of this study was to explore the accuracy of low-dosage computed tomography (CT) images based on the expectation maximization algorithm denoising algorithm (EM algorithm) in the detection and diagnosis of renal dysplasia, so as to provide reasonable research basis for accuracy improvement of clinical diagnosis of renal dysplasia. 120 patients with renal dysplasia in hospital were randomly selected as the research objects, and they were divided into two groups by random number method, with 60 patients in each group. The low-dosage CT images of patients in the control group were not processed (nonalgorithm group), and the low-dosage CT images of patients in the observation group were denoised using the EM algorithm (algorithm group). In addition, it was compared with the results of the comprehensive diagnosis (gold standard) to analyze the accuracy of the diagnosis of the two groups of patients and the consistency with the results of the pathological diagnosis. The results were compared with those of the comprehensive diagnosis (gold standard) to analyze the accuracy of the diagnosis of the two groups of patients. The results showed that the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) (15.9 dB) of the EM algorithm was higher than the regularized adaptive matching pursuit (RAMP) algorithm (1.69 dB) and the mean filter (4.3 dB) ( P < 0.05 ). The time consumption of EM algorithm (21 s) was shorter than that of PWLS algorithm (34 s) and MS-PWLS algorithm (39 s) ( P < 0.05 ). The diagnosis accuracy of dysplasia of single kidney, absence of single kidney, horseshoe kidney, and duplex kidney was obviously higher in the algorithm group than the control group ( P < 0.05 ), which were 66.67% vs. 90%, 60% vs. 88.89%, 71.42% vs. 100%, and 60% vs. 88.89%, respectively. The incidence of hypertension in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) (56.77%) was much higher than that of the other diseases ( P < 0.05 ). After denoising by the EM algorithm, low-dosage CT image could improve the diagnostic accuracy of several types of renal dysplasia except ADPKD, showing certain clinical application value. In addition, ADPKD was easy to cause hypertension.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
