    Abstract: Systems/techniques that facilitate machine learning generation of low-noise and high structural conspicuity images are provided. In various embodiments, a system can access an image and can apply at least one of image denoising or image resolution enhancement to the image, thereby yielding a first intermediary image. In various instances, the system can generate, via execution of a plurality of machine learning models, a plurality of second intermediary images based on the first intermediary image, wherein a given machine learning model in the plurality of machine learning models receives as input the first intermediary image, wherein the given machine learning model produces as output a given second intermediary image in the plurality of second intermediary images, and wherein the given second intermediary image represents a kernel-transformed version of the first intermediary image. In various cases, the system can generate a blended image based on the plurality of second intermediary images.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for enhancing the quality of three-dimensional (3D) anatomy scan images using deep learning. According to an embodiment, a system is provided that comprises a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components comprise a reception component that receives a scan image generated from 3D scan data relative to a first axis of a 3D volume, and an enhancement component that applies an enhancement model to the scan image to generate an enhanced scan image having a higher resolution relative to the scan image. The enhancement model comprises a deep learning neural network model trained on training image pairs respectively comprising a low-resolution scan image and a corresponding high-resolution scan image respectively generated relative to a second axis of the 3D volume.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method with which an imaged range in the past can be reproduced with high precision. In accordance with certain embodiments, an X-ray CT apparatus includes a camera-image producing section for producing a first camera image of a patient, a landmark fixing section for fixing a landmark with reference to a chest of the patient, and an imaged-range defining section for defining a first imaged range in a first scan based on landmark data representing the landmark. The camera-image producing section acquires a second camera image of the patient in a follow-up examination, the landmark fixing section fixes a second landmark with reference to the chest of the patient contained in the second image, and the imaged-range defining section defines second imaged range in a second scan based on landmark data representing the landmarks, and imaged-range data representing the first imaged range.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for transforming images from one energy level to another. In an example, a method includes obtaining an image at a first energy level, identifying a contrast phase of the image, entering the image as input to a segmentation model trained to output an anatomy mask that identifies each tissue type in the image, generating a guide image from the image and the anatomy mask using a regression model, entering the image and the guide image as input into an energy transformation model trained to output a transformed image at a different, second energy level, the energy transformation model selected from among a plurality of energy transformation models based on the contrast phase, and displaying a final transformed image and/or saving the final transformed image in memory, wherein the final transformed image is the transformed image or is generated based on the transformed image.
