    摘要: 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.

    摘要: The current disclosure provides methods and systems to reduce an amount of structured and unstructured noise in image data. Specifically, a multi-stage deep learning method is provided, comprising training a deep learning network using a set of training pairs interchangeably including input data from a first noisy dataset with a first noise level and target data from a second noisy dataset with a second noise level, and input data from the second noisy dataset and target data from the first noisy dataset; generating an ultra-low noise data equivalent based on a low noise data fed into the trained deep learning network; and retraining the deep learning network on the set of training pairs using the target data of the set of training pairs in a first retraining step, and using the ultra-low noise data equivalent as target data in a second retraining step.
