DLR methods can be categorized into projection-space, projection-to-image-space, image-space, and various hybrid techniques, with applications such as noise reduction, artifact correction, and spatial resolution enhancement. Performance evaluations include phantom-based studies, patient-image-based studies, and virtual imaging trials. These evaluation studies demonstrated that DLR can effectively reduce image noise while preserving an image texture like in traditional filtered-backprojection (FBP) images, although the extent of radiation dose reduction varies widely depending on the study and the specific diagnostic task. Challenges remain in low-contrast lesion detection and characterization, where dose reduction may still be less than 50% compared to traditional reconstruction methods. Additionally, the potential for DLR methods to generate false structures or \"hallucinations,\" especially at low radiation doses, emphasizes the need for effective monitoring and mitigation strategies from both technical and clinical perspectives. Quantitative, accurate, and efficient evaluation techniques, such as virtual image trial-based methods, can be explored to help optimize these algorithms for reducing radiation dose and enhancing diagnostic performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":9306,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Radiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145298764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversely, there have been numerous developments for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lungs in the last several decades, allowing for the quantification of structural and functional abnormalities without ionizing radiation.
