Abstract:Background:
Computed tomography (CT) scan is one of the main tools to diagnose and grade COVID-19 progression. To avoid the side effects of CT imaging, low-dose CT imaging is of crucial importance to reduce population absorbed dose. However, this approach introduces considerable noise levels in CT images.
Methods:
In this light, we set out to simulate four reduced dose levels (60% dose, 40% dose, 20% dose, and 10% dose) of standard CT imaging using Beer… Show more
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.
