Article Abstract
CT perfusion study requires repeatedly scanning the same part of the patient's head, resulting in an increase of local radiation exposure. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of the ultra-low-dose technique with a quantum de-noising filter. The newly developed quantum de-noising filter selectively reduced noise by two-thirds, while maintaining spatial resolution. The low-dose protocol using the quantum de-noising filter and slow rotation speed accomplished a 68% reduction in the local radiation dose compared with the previous standard protocol. The quantum de-noising filter is considered to be useful to reduce radiation exposure and to improve image quality in CT perfusion study.

Low field (LF) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shows potential advantages to study pure heteronuclear J-coupling and observe the fine structure of matter. Power-line harmonics interferences and fixed-frequency noise peaks might introduce discrete noise peaks into the LF-NMR spectrum in an open environment or in a conductively shielded room, which might disturb J-coupling spectra of matter recorded at LF. In this paper, we describe a multi-channel sensor configuration of superconducting quantum interference devices, and measure the multiple peaks of the 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol J-coupling spectrum.

Objectives: To assess the effects of image reconstruction method on hepatic CT perfusion (CTP) values using two CT protocols with different radiation doses.
Materials And Methods: Sixty patients underwent hepatic CTP and were randomly divided into two groups. Tube currents of 210 or 250 mA were used for the standard dose group and 120 or 140 mA for the low dose group.

The X-ray pattern of a mass of very fine non-distinguishable anatomical structures alters completely from radiograph to radiograph due to the unavoidable movements of the patient during the exposure. The corresponding image component shows noise-like behaviour and is therefore referred to as the anatomical noise. Reducing this component would enhance the quality of the clinical X-ray image and increase the detectability of radiological signal.
