Abstract: A method, system, and computer readable medium to compensate for consecutive missing views in Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction. By utilizing at least one complementary ray from a previous or subsequent view, the missing view(s) can be filled in. When plural complementary rays exist, a linear or non-linear combination of rays can be used to fill in the missing views, and the weights used in the combination may be smoothed to prevent over-emphasis of the replacement views.

Abstract: A system and method for training a neural network to denoise images. One noise realization is paired to an ensemble of training-ready noise realizations, and fed into a neural network for training. Training datasets can also be retrospectively generated based on existing patient studies to increase the number of training datasets.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are described using a forward model to correct pulse pileup in spectrally resolved X-ray projection data from photon-counting detectors (PCDs). To calibrate the forward model, which represents each order of pileup using a respective pileup response matrix (PRM), an optimization search determines the elements of the PRMs that optimize an objective function measuring agreement between the spectra of recorded counts affected by pulse pileup and the estimated counts generated using forward model of pulse pileup. The spectrum of the recorded counts in the projection data is corrected using the calibrated forward model, by determining an argument value that optimizes the objective function, the argument being either a corrected X-ray spectrum or the projection lengths of a material decomposition. Images for material components of the material decomposition are then reconstructed using the corrected projection data.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for controlling exposure/irradiation during a main three-dimensional X-ray imaging scan using at least one spatially-distributed characteristic of a pre-scan/scout scan preceding the main scan. The at least one spatially-distributed characteristic includes (1) a spatially-distributed noise characteristic of the pre-scan and/or (2) a spatially-distributed identification of exposure-sensitive tissue types. The at least one spatially-distributed characteristic can be calculated from images reconstructed from sinogram/projection data and/or from sinogram/projection directly using a neural network.

Abstract: A deep learning (DL) network corrects/performs sinogram completion in computed tomography (CT) images based on complementary high- and low-kV projection data generated from a sparse (or fast) kilo-voltage (kV)-switching CT scan. The DL network is trained using inputs and targets, which respectively generated with and without kV switching. Another DL network can be trained to correct sinogram-completion errors in the projection data after a basis/material decomposition. A third DL network can be trained to correct sinogram-completion errors in reconstructed images based on the kV-switching projection data. Performance of the DL network can be improved by dividing a 3D convolutional neural network (CNN) into two steps performed by respective 2D CNNs. Further, the projection data and DLL can be divided into high- and low-frequency components to improve performance.
