Assessment of Emphysema on X-ray Equivalent Dose Photon-Counting Detector CT
The severity of emphysema can be reliably estimated using visual scoring on CT scans performed with x-ray equivalent doses on a PCD-CT. A deep learning algorithm demonstrated good agreement and strong correlation with the visual scoring method on low-dose scans. However, both the deep learning and LAV algorithms overestimated emphysema extent on x-ray dose scans. Nonetheless, x-ray equivalent radiation dose scans may revolutionize the detection and monitoring of disease in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients.
