Background: Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most used modalities for diagnostics in paediatric populations, which is a concern as it also delivers a high patient dose. Research has focused on developing computer algorithms that provide better image quality at lower dose. The iterative reconstruction …

Objective: Summarize all relevant findings in published literature regarding the potential dose reduction related to image quality using Sinogram-Affirmed Iterative Reconstruction (SAFIRE) compared to Filtered Back Projection (FBP). Background: Computed Tomography (CT) is one of the most used radiographic …

Introduction: The purpose of this review is to gather and analyse current research publications to evaluate Sinogram-Affirmed Iterative Reconstruction (SAFIRE). The aim of this review is to investigate whether this algorithm is capable of reducing the dose delivered during CT imaging while maintaining …

Objectives: Children have a greater risk from radiation, per unit dose, due to increased radiosensitivity and longer life expectancies. It is of paramount importance to reduce the radiation dose received by children. This research concerns chest CT examinations on paediatric patients. The purpose of …

CARE kV en SAFIRE zijn nieuwe technieken, die wellicht de CT dosis kunnen verlagen bij een gelijkblijvende beeldkwaliteit. Echter is niet duidelijk wat de aanvullende waarde en beperkingen zijn van deze functies. Middels een obese-fantoomstudie is onderzocht welke invloed deze functies hebben op de beeldkwaliteit …

Full text via link. It became clear early on in the SAFIRE project that different EU countries have different views on targeting groups in social work and especially with regard to preventing or countering radicalization. Consequently, a programme developed in one country to prevent radicalization cannot …

Project objectives Radicalisation research leads to ethical and legal questions and issues. These issues need to be addressed in way that helps the project progress in ethically and legally acceptable manner. Description of Work The legal analysis in SAFIRE addressed questions such as which behavior …
