摘要

Background

The integration of ionizing radiation in medical practice has evolved significantly over the past century, with diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine playing pivotal roles in modern healthcare. Despite its substantial benefits, radiation exposure poses inherent risks, necessitating adherence to the principle of “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA). Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have introduced transformative methodologies aimed at optimizing radiation use and improving patient safety.

Purpose

This review explores the application of AI techniques in radiology and nuclear medicine, specifically focusing on their role in reducing radiation exposure while maintaining diagnostic efficacy.

Methods

The article synthesizes findings from recent studies on AI-driven innovations, including machine learning algorithms, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and deep learning models. It evaluates their contributions to imaging processes such as image reconstruction, enhancement, automated lesion detection, and quantitative analysis.

Results

AI technologies have demonstrated significant potential in improving image quality, reducing noise, enhancing resolution, and enabling precise dose optimization. These advancements have led to improved diagnostic accuracy, better treatment planning, and reduced radiation exposure for patients undergoing imaging procedures.

Conclusions

AI represents a promising frontier in clinical practices by enhancing safety and efficacy in diagnostic imaging. Its ability to optimize radiation doses while maintaining high-quality imaging underscores its transformative impact on patient care. Future developments in AI-driven predictive modeling and real-time decision support systems are expected to further revolutionize the field.
