Assessing the consistency of CT-based ventilation imaging under noise reduction processing with simulated quantum noise using a nonrigid alveoli phantom by Shin Miyakawa, Hiraku Fuse, Kenji Yasue, Norikazu Koori, Masato Takahashi, Hiroki Nosaka, Shunsuke Moriya, Fumihiro Tomita, Tatsuya Fujisaki

“…Additionally, to evaluate the ventilation function of each voxel, we compared two-dimensional histograms of CTVIref, CTVInoise, CTVImed and CTVIcnn.Statistical analysis usedCohen's kappa coefficient and Spearman's correlation were used to assess the agreement between CTVIref and each of the following: CTVInoise, CTVImed, and CTVIcnn.ResultsCTVIcnn significantly improved categorical consistency and voxel-level correlation of CTVI, particularly under high-noise conditions (150 HU), outperforming both CTVInoise and CTVImed.ConclusionsCNN-based denoising effectively improved the accuracy and robustness of CTVI under quantum noise.…”
