  • Publication number: 20240095887
    Abstract: Disclosed is a novel CT denoising method using deep learning to boost the image signal-to-noise ratio for improved disease detection in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This method reduced the original CT image noise significantly better than BM3D, with SNR improvements in GM, WM, and DG by 2.47×, 2.83×, and 2.64× respectively and CNR improvements in DG/WM and GM/WM by 2.30× and 2.16× respectively. Scans denoised by the proposed model are shown to be visually clearer with preserved anatomy. The disclosed deep learning model significantly reduces image noise and improves signal-to-noise and contrast-to-noise ratios in 380 unseen head NCCT cases.

  • Publication number: 20220179068
    Abstract: A device and method used to image conduits, such as pipes, wellbores and tubulars, with imaging sensors, such as cameras and ultrasound arrays. The speed and location of the device are determined using one or more speed sensor modules. Images are then registered to more precise axial locations along the conduit than are normally possible using wireline encoders or other methods. The conduit may be visualized to proper scale for improved analysis of defects.
