Denoised Ultra Low Dose CT for Pneumonia Detection
Dr. Praveen Ranganath speaks with Dr. Maximiliano Klug about his team's development of a denoised ultra low-dose chest CT technique for detecting pneumonia in immunocompromised patients. They explore how AI-based denoising improves diagnostic accuracy while dramatically reducing radiation exposure, offering promising implications for broader clinical use. Denoised Ultra-Low-Dose Chest CT to Assess Pneumonia inIndividuals Who Are Immunocompromised. Klug et al. Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging 2025; 7(2):e240189.
