Thesis Overview

The project titled "Utilizing Artificial Intelligence for Optimizing Image Quality in Radiography" aims to explore the potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing the image quality of radiographic images. Radiography plays a crucial role in modern healthcare by enabling the visualization of internal structures for diagnostic purposes. However, image quality can be affected by various factors such as noise, artifacts, and suboptimal exposure settings, which can impact the accuracy of diagnoses. Artificial intelligence techniques, particularly deep learning algorithms, have shown promise in various medical imaging applications, including radiography. By leveraging AI, it is possible to develop advanced image processing algorithms that can automatically enhance image quality by reducing noise, correcting artifacts, and optimizing contrast and sharpness. This can help radiographers and radiologists obtain clearer and more informative images, leading to more accurate and timely diagnoses. The research will involve a comprehensive review of existing literature on the use of AI in radiography and medical imaging, focusing on techniques for image enhancement and quality optimization. This review will provide a solid theoretical foundation for the project and identify gaps in current research that can be addressed through the proposed study. The project will also include the development and implementation of AI-based algorithms tailored specifically for optimizing image quality in radiography. These algorithms will be trained on a dataset of radiographic images to learn patterns and features associated with high-quality images. The performance of the algorithms will be evaluated in terms of their ability to enhance image quality compared to traditional image processing methods. Furthermore, the research methodology will involve collecting radiographic images from various modalities and settings to ensure the algorithms are robust and generalizable across different imaging scenarios. The performance of the AI algorithms will be assessed through objective metrics, such as signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, and image sharpness, as well as subjective evaluations by radiography experts. The findings of the study are expected to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of utilizing artificial intelligence for optimizing image quality in radiography. By improving image quality, the proposed AI-based approach has the potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce the need for repeat imaging, and ultimately improve patient outcomes in clinical practice. In conclusion, this research project seeks to harness the power of artificial intelligence to address the challenges associated with image quality in radiography, paving the way for more efficient and reliable diagnostic imaging procedures in healthcare settings.
