Sapheneia Clarity Algorithm for CT Dose Reduction

Sapheneia uses the proprietary Clarity algorithm featuring an iterative adaptive filtering technique in image space. The Clarity algorithm reconstructs an optimized CT volume from any (low quality) input volume.

Clarity decomposes the data into a rich feature space representation based on scale, tissue and frequency. After analysis of the various parts and selective enhancement, an optimized data volume is reconstructed. The iteration is initialized and controlled using the image data which ensures that the spatial coherence is kept during the entire process.

Clarity employs a sophisticated statistical analysis of the image structure in the three-dimensional neighborhood of each pixel. Using iterative robust estimation methods, the dominant structures are separated from the embedded noise.

However, it’s not always the noise that determines the image quality. In some cases higher noise is appreciated when it comes to higher contrast. The Clarity filters are adapted to work best with any acquisition protocol.

The Sapheneia Clarity algorithm maintains / improves image quality at significantly reduced dose levels.
