Evaluation of technological innovations
New acquisition hardware or new reconstruction methods always claim to improve the image quality of CT scans or to reduce the dose without affecting the image quality. In order to assess the value of newly introduced acquisition and reconstruction techniques, it is of utmost importance to use objective evaluation methods to bring forth both benefits and limitations of these developments. Our research focuses on the development of such evaluation methods.Building a knowledge base
After a successful evaluation and optimization of the acquisition and reconstruction technique, there is the need for a smooth introduction into clinical practice. We use the knowledge generated in our research group to build a knowledge base that we use for the automation of the CT operating procedure. Our goal is that the automated procedure makes the best use of the latest technological innovations for a given diagnostic question.
