AI Algorithm Cuts Radiation 99% for 3D Reconstructions from X-Rays

A new AI algorithm can reconstruct 3D images from only 2-4 X-rays, reducing radiation exposure by up to 99%.

Key Details

  • 1AI tool generates 3D reconstructions using just 2-4 X-ray images.
  • 2Patient radiation exposure reduced by 95-99% compared to standard CT scans.
  • 3Algorithm achieves 97% accuracy benchmark versus conventional CT imaging.
  • 4Developed by researchers at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).
  • 5Already used to assist surgeons in preoperative planning, with future goals including 3D implant creation and enhanced imaging precision.

Why It Matters

Such a drastic reduction in radiation exposure and imaging costs could transform how 3D imaging is used for surgical planning. High-accuracy reconstructions from minimal x-ray data open new possibilities for safer, more accessible radiology workflows.
