The images underwent AI-based noise reduction processing (Intelligent NR, Canon Inc.). All the images were randomized, and were evaluated from 1 to 4 for image quality by three board-certified radiologists in consensus. A score of \u201c1\u201d indicated the desired anatomy or features were not seen, \u201c2\u201d indicated quality between one and three, \u201c3\u201d indicated adequate quality, and \u201c4\u201d indicated higher than required image quality. A Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to assess the significant difference between images from conventional noise reduction versus those from the AI-based noise reduction.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The images processed with the INR(Intelligent NR) noise reduction had a higher image quality than the conventionally processed images, with a significant difference between the two groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The AI-based noise reduction technique improved the image quality of pediatric and neonatal chest and abdominal radiography significantly.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11604-025-01775-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,7]],"date-time":"2025-04-07T04:35:32Z","timestamp":1744000532000},"page":"1365-1371","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Improving image quality on pediatric and neonatal radiography using AI-based compensation for image degradation"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"43","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-5083-5812","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"So","family":"Ode","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsuko","family":"Fujikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Hiroishi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuki","family":"Saito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takao","family":"Tanuma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daigo","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuichi","family":"Sasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hidefumi","family":"Mimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1775_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.174.1.1740075","volume":"174","author":"M Garmer","year":"2000","unstructured":"Garmer M, Hennigs SP, J\u00e4ger HJ, Schrick F, van de Loo T, Jacobs A, et al.
