: To study and evaluate the change in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macular thickness and its clinical correlation with visual outcome following amblyopia therapy. : In this prospective interventional study, children with moderate to severe amblyopia were given optical correction and part-time occlusion therapy. Visual assessment and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed at days 0 and 3, 6 months of follow-up.

Aim: We evaluated the quality of noncontrast chest computed tomography (CT) for pediatric patients at two dose levels with and without denoising using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN).

Materials And Methods: Forty children underwent noncontrast chest CTs for "chronic cough" using a routine dose (RD) protocol. Images were reconstructed using iterative reconstruction (IR).

Article Synopsis
  • AI is transforming radiology by improving diagnosis accuracy, speeding up interpretations, and enhancing image quality through advanced algorithms.
  • There's a risk that radiologists may overlook original images, which remain critical for accurate assessments despite AI's improvements.
  • A case study highlights this issue, showing how AI's motion suppression created a misleading appearance of an osteochondral lesion in a child’s knee, emphasizing the need for radiologists to evaluate both original and AI-enhanced images.
