Radiation Dose Cut in Half With Software

by Brendon Nafziger, DOTmed News Associate Editor | January 28, 2010

"Many OEMs are interested in dose reduction, and my expectation is they would use this data for a human-based study," Barry says.

In the meantime, Barry is working on a project to compare image quality with the ContextVision enhancement software without the need to recruit people for a massive comparison study. In this experiment, a computer will randomly inject noise into existing radiographs, taken from humans, to mimic the effects of a low-dose image, which could then be corrected with the company's software. "If you know [that] the pattern you're putting in reflects a dose reduction of X percent, then you have a good surrogate of a low dose image," Barry says.
