Brief summary
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the detection rate of pulmonary conditions, percentage of ionizing radiation dose reduction, and state of image quality of ULDCT coupling with innovative vendor-neutral CT denoising solution based on deep learning technology.
Detailed description
Considering lung cancer-related public health challenges, a reliable lung cancer screening method for high-risk cohorts in Mongolia is needed. Thus, our study aims to assess the detection rate of pulmonary conditions, percentage of ionizing radiation dose reduction, and state of image quality of ULDCT coupling with artificial intelligence based CT denoising technique among various patient groups.
Interventions
Underwent low dose chest CT with 30% lower radiation dose
Underwent ultra dose chest CT with 90% lower radiation dose
Deep-learning based contrast boosting algorithms

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Detection rate of pulmonary conditions | Within 2 weeks after data collection | Pulmonary condition detection rate on low dose chest CT and ultra dose chest CT with artificial intelligence-based CT denoising solution by blinded reviewers |
| Contrast media dose | Within 2 weeks after data collection | Administered contrast media dose in each patient |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Image contrast | Within 2 weeks after data collection | Signal to Noise, Noise and Edge-rise-distance on a five-point scale (1-5) with a higher score indicates better conspicuity. |
