Abstract: A method for scatter estimation in a CT including a detector having multiple detector pixels includes: obtaining projection data by scanning an imaging object; reconstructing image data from the projection data; estimating, based on the projection data, a first scatter distribution; selecting, based on the first scatter distribution, a first subset of the pixels; calculating, based on the projection data and the image data, a second scatter distribution with respect to the selected first subset, the second scatter distribution having higher accuracy than the first scatter distribution; acquiring, based on the second scatter distribution, a third scatter distribution with respect to a second subset of the pixels, the third scatter distribution having higher spatial resolution than the second scatter distribution.

Abstract: A projection dataset from a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) can be input into a first set of one or more neural networks trained for at least one of saturation correction, truncation correction, and scatter correction. Reconstruction can then be performed on the output projection dataset to produce an image dataset. Thereafter, this image dataset can be input into a second set of one or more neural networks trained for at least one of noise reduction and artefact reduction, thereby generating a higher quality CBCT image.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided that uses a deep learning (DL) network to improve the image quality of computed tomography (CT) images, which were reconstructed using an analytical reconstruction method. The DL network is trained to use physical-model information in addition to the analytical reconstructed images to generate the improved images. The physical-model information can be generated, e.g., by estimating a gradient of the objective function (or just the data-fidelity term) of a model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) method (e.g., by performing one or more iterations of the MBIR method). The MBIR method can incorporate physical models for X-ray scatter, detector resolution/noise/non-linearities, beam-hardening, attenuation, and/or the system geometry. The DL network can be trained using input data comprising images reconstructed using the analytical reconstruction method and target data comprising images reconstructed using the MBIR method.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to removing scatter from a SPECT scan by utilizing a radiative transfer equation (RTE) method. An attenuation map and emission map are acquired for generating scatter sources maps and scatter on detectors using the RTE method. The estimated scatter on detectors can be removed to produce an image of a SPECT scan with less scatter. Both first-order and multiple-order scatter can be estimated and removed. Additionally, scatter caused by multiple tracers can be determined and removed.
