In this research computer tomography (CT) iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms are investigated, specifically the impact of their statistical and model-based strength on image quality in low-dose lung screening CT protocols in comparison to filtered back projection (FBP). It has been probed whether statistical, model-based IR in conjunction with low-dose, and ultra-low-dose protocols are suitable for lungcancer screening. To this end, artificial lung nodules shaped as spheres and spicules made from material with calibrated Hounsfield units (HU) were attached on marked positions in the lung structure of an anthropomorphic phantom. Nodule positions were selected by distinguished radiologists. The phantom with nodules was scanned on a CT Scanner using standard high contrast (SHC), low-dose (LD) and ultra low-dose (ULD) protocol. For reconstruction FBP and the IR algorithm ADMIRE at three different …
We study a quantum two-level system under the influence of two independent baths, i.e., a sub-Ohmic pure dephasing bath and an Ohmic or sub-Ohmic relaxational bath. We show that cooling such a system invariably polarizes one of the two baths. A polarized relaxational bath creates an effective asymmetry. This asymmetry can be suppressed by additional dephasing noise. This being less effective, the more dominant low frequencies are in the dephasing noise. A polarized dephasing bath generates a large shift in the coherent oscillation frequency of the two-level system. This frequency shift is little affected by additional relaxational noise nor by the frequency distribution of the dephasing noise itself. As our model reflects a typical situation for superconducting phase qubits, our findings can help optimize cooling protocols for future quantum electronic devices.
