Using Medical Imaging Effective Dose in Deep Learning Models: Estimation and Evaluation

Accurately estimating patient exposure is a fundamental concern when modeling the radiation risk from medical imaging. Inaccurate estimation techniques produce misleading instances that have a cascading effect on the performance of risk models. A commonly used method of estimating exposure is using mean effective dose (ED) values from the literature. However, the predictive power of literature values to impute patients ED has not been …
