Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized the field of medical imaging by providing detailed and accurate images of the human body. The latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have provided new opportunities to further enhance the power and efficiency of CT. With this Special Issue, we invite researchers and experts in the field of medical imaging to explore the advanced role of AI in CT. The integration of AI into CT imaging has led to significant improvements in image quality, interpretation, and protocol optimization. AI-based image reconstruction and denoising techniques have the potential to reduce noise and artifacts, thereby enhancing the clarity and diagnostic accuracy of CT images. AI-based image segmentation and analysis have been used to aid in the identification and characterization of pathological tissue, improving the precision and speed of disease detection. Moreover, AI-assisted diagnosis and interpretation of CT images have the potential to improve the reliability and consistency of clinical decisions, leading to more accurate and timely patient care.
In addition, AI-based radiation dose optimization has the potential to reduce patient exposure to ionizing radiation while maintaining image quality. AI-based motion correction and artifact reduction techniques have the potential to mitigate the effects of patient motion and reduce image distortion. AI-based prediction of treatment response and prognosis using CT has the potential to guide personalized treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, AI-based CT image registration and fusion techniques have the potential to integrate CT images with other imaging modalities, providing a more comprehensive view of a patient’s anatomy and pathology. The integration of AI into CT imaging raises important ethical and legal questions, such as responsibility for the accuracy and safety of the AI algorithms used and the potential impact on patient privacy. As such, the ethical and legal implications of AI-based CT imaging will also considered in this Special Issue.
In summary, this Special Issue seeks to bring together original research articles, review papers, and case studies that demonstrate the latest advancements in AI for CT, their potential benefits and challenges, and their impact on clinical practice. We invite contributions from researchers and experts in medical imaging, AI, computer science, and related fields. The submitted manuscripts will undergo rigorous peer review, with acceptance based on originality, significance, and relevance to the theme of the Special Issue.
