    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for using a neural network to estimate scatter in X-ray projection images and then correct for the X-ray scatter. For example, the neural network is a three-dimensional convolutional neural network 3D-CNN to which are applied projection images, at a given view, for respective energy bins and/or material components. The projection images can be obtained by material decomposing spectral projection data, or by segmenting a reconstructed CT image into material-component images, which are then forward projected to generate energy-resolved material-component projections. The result generated by the 3D-CNN is an estimated scatter flux. To train the 3D-CNN, the target scatter flux in the training data can be simulated using a radiative transfer equation method.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided that uses a deep learning (DL) network together with a multi-resolution detector to perform X-ray projection imaging to provide improved resolution similar to a single-resolution detector but at lower cost and less demand on the communication bandwidth between the rotating and stationary parts of an X-ray gantry. The DL network is trained using a training dataset that includes input data and target data. The input data includes projection data acquired using a multi-resolution detector, and the target data includes projection data acquired using a single-resolution, high-resolution detector. Thus, the DL network is trained to improve the resolution of projection data acquired using a multi-resolution detector. Further, the DL network is can be trained to additional correct other aspects of the projection data (e.g., noise and artifacts).

    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided to reduce the noise in medical imaging by training a deep learning (DL) network to select the optimal parameters for a convolution kernel of an adaptive filter that is applied in the data domain. For example, in X-ray computed tomography (CT) the adaptive filter applies smoothing to a sinogram, and the optimal amount of the smoothing and orientation of the kernel (e.g., a bivariate Gaussian) can be determined on a pixel-by-pixel basis by applying a noisy sinogram to the DL network, which outputs the parameters of the filter (e.g., the orientation and variances of the Gaussian kernel). The DL network is trained using a training data set including target data (e.g., the gold standard) and input data. The input data can be sinograms generated by a low-dose CT scan, and the target data generated by a high-dose CT scan.
