Abstract:
Various methods and systems are provided for computed tomography imaging. In one embodiment, a method includes acquiring, with an x-ray detector and an x-ray source coupled to a gantry, a three-dimensional image volume of a subject while the subject moves through a bore of the gantry and the gantry rotates the x-ray detector and the x-ray source around the subject, inputting the three-dimensional image volume to a trained deep neural network to generate a corrected three-dimensional image volume with a reduction in aliasing artifacts present in the three-dimensional image volume, and outputting the corrected three-dimensional image volume. In this way, aliasing artifacts caused by sub-sampling may be removed from computed tomography images while preserving details, texture, and sharpness in the computed tomography images.
